PVC scrap buyers: who recycles rigid and flexible PVC
PVC is recycled mostly as rigid post-industrial scrap: window and door profiles, pipe, sheet and edge banding. Its buyers are regranulators and extruders that put recycled PVC in the core layer of profiles and pipes. Rigid and flexible PVC are separate markets.
