To reduce the amount of plastic waste in Europe, the recycling of polyvinyl chloride (PVC), commonly used in the construction and public works sector, is a promising solution, with over 800,000 tonnes of PVC waste recycled in Europe in 2021.
To explore the feasibility of a new technology to recycle PVC, a manufacturer commissioned Seureca to identify the potential PVC waste raw materials that could be collected for this project in France and Benelux.
Our solution
Seureca has:
- inventoried the material collection systems;
- assessed the quantities of PVC waste collected, recycled, incinerated or landfilled according to its origin, and the waste exported;
- identified challenges and opportunities related to PVC waste collection;
- introduced the main players in the PVC recycling sector.
