PVCircle

Solution overview

"PVCircle is an innovative technological solution designed to improve the recycling and reprocessing of post-consumer and industrial PVC waste. The system combines advanced sorting technology, material tracking, and sustainable processing methods to enable efficient recovery and reuse of PVC materials. PVCircle addresses key environmental and industrial challenges by: • Reducing the volume of PVC waste ending up in landfills or incineration. • Lowering the demand for virgin PVC production, thus decreasing CO₂ emissions. • Improving transparency and traceability in the PVC recycling supply chain. The solution is particularly beneficial for: • Recycling facilities looking to optimize PVC separation and processing. • Manufacturers aiming to integrate recycled PVC into new products. • Environmental agencies and policymakers interested in promoting circular economy practices. PVCircle supports a circular economy model by keeping PVC materials in use for as long as possible, thus contributing to more sustainable production and consumption patterns. "

Key features

"PVCircle stands out in the market through a combination of advanced technology, sustainability, and system integration. Its key differentiators include: 1.
