PVC scrap and regrind: who buys it and how it is valued
PVC is recycled mostly as rigid post-industrial scrap: window and door profiles, pipe, sheet and edge banding. Buyers are PVC regranulators and extruders who put recycled PVC in the core layer of profiles and pipes. Rigid and flexible PVC are separate markets, and colour and contamination are decisive.
PVC scrap types
- White window profile scrap and regrind (with or without coextrusion)
- Coloured and decor (foiled) profiles
- Pipe scrap (grey, orange, blue)
- Edge banding
- Rigid sheet and card scrap
- Flexible PVC: cable sheathing, hoses, tarpaulin
Who buys it
Regranulators and micronizers of rigid PVC, profile and pipe extruders using recycled PVC in core layers, and compounders for flexible PVC. Metal, rubber gaskets and glass are the defects buyers check first on window profile scrap.
Price drivers
- White, clean profile regrind sells highest
- Metal and gasket residues lower the value
- Foiled/decor profiles and mixed colours go to darker products
- Flexible PVC depends on plasticizer type and contamination
