PVC For Recycling

There are many products that are made from PVC that can be used for recycling. From tired windows to doors, we can recycle PVC that can be repurposed. We work with our sister company, VEKA Recycling, to turn old PVC into high-quality products, including windows and doors, that you can offer your customers.

There are many beneficial reasons why we should all recycle PVC. We can become more environmental and look after our planet. It is also very cost-effective for the economy due to the decreased level of waste that ends up in landfill. Using PVC for recycling will benefit a wide range of people.

Here at VEKA Compounds, we turn recycled PVC into contamination-free pellets that can be used for further manufacturing. Our pellets can be used to make products, including windows, doors and cills, to name a few. If you have windows that need recycling or are interested in our recycled PVC, get in touch through our online contact form.

What PVC Can Be Recycled?

A variety of PVC products can be used for recycling, including windows and doors. You do not need to worry about removing any hardware, including the locks, as we have advanced machinery to do this for you.

Each PVC window and door can be recycled up to ten times, boasting a 350-year lifecycle. It is a great way to produce high-quality products whilst reducing waste. If you have any other products made from PVC, get in touch with us, and we can discuss possible recycling solutions.

PVC Recycling Process

We carefully plan our process to ensure that it is as environmentally friendly as possible from beginning to end. We offer free collection for tired PVC for recycling and use routes that don’t carry unnecessary time on the road. Our vehicles use low-emission diesel so that we are as sustainable as possible.

When all of the PVC for recycling has arrived at our facility, we shred all of the material into smaller pieces. This makes it easier for us to sort it into the same sizes to handle the material more efficiently. We then start to remove any metals in the windows and doors, including the handles and hinges.

Once we have gotten rid of any metals, we continue to shred and sort the material by size. We continue to do this until the material is free of any non-PVC material and is in a uniform size. By suppressing the material into smaller sizes, makes it easier for us to recycle the PVC into pellets.

Now, this is where we come in and finish the final stage of the recycling process. We use our innovative melt-filtration system to turn the PVC into pellets passed onto our approved list of extruders.

PVC Recycling Benefits

Environmental Impact

There are many reasons why recycling PVC is important. Firstly, the most important and obvious reason is the impact on the environment. As more and more waste ends up in landfill, it becomes dangerous for the planet. If it overfills, this can affect local habitats and increase pollution. If we recycle PVC windows and doors up to ten times, we can reduce a fantastic amount of waste over the years.

Affordable

Not only is landfill environmentally friendly, but they can also be very costly. It costs a lot of money to maintain it over the years. If we can reduce the amount of waste that ends up in landfill, we can improve our economy. Using PVC for recycling is a great investment for our industry for many reasons, and we can close the loop on PVC products.
