Recycling PVC and reducing plastic waste in Europe

Recycling and recovery

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.
