Vinyloop® gives a second life to post consumer PVC waste.
The Vinyloop PVC recycling process separates the useful PVC compound from other materials (other plastics, rubber, metal, textile...) by selective dissolution and filtration and precipitates it into microgranules of PVC compound. This regenerated PVC compound (R-PVC) that can be re-processed by extrusion, injection or calendaring. The process works on an industrial scale. It is a strong support towards the Voluntary Commitment of the Vinyl Industry.
Vinyloop contributes to a sustainable development of our planet:
Eco-efficient: the process uses less energy than the production of virgin material.
Forward looking: rather than a burden, wastes become a raw material resource.
Vinyloop® PVC recycling process
END-OF-LIFE ROOFING MEMBRANES
General description
Roofing membranes in PVC are used on industrial flat roofs, as a modern alternative to bitumen based foils. They contain PVC compound and in most of the cases polyester textile.
Contribution to sustainable development
ESWA, the European association of waterproofing membranes manufacturers, contributes to the voluntary commitment to collect and recycle end of life membranes. It settled the Roofcollect system, which supports collection of end-of-life membranes. Vinyloop Ferrara was selected to recycle post consumer waste coming from Italy, France, Austria and Switzerland.
