Process for Recycling PVC to HDPE
Background Approximately 40 million tons of polyvinyl chloride (PVC) are produced annually, making PVC one of the most widely produced synthetic plastic polymers. Waste materials that contain PVC are extremely difficult to recycle mechanically. Thermochemical methods such as pyrolysis are also undesirable because of hydrochloric acid and chlorinated...
