Abstract
Becouse of its inherent thermal instability the presence of PVC in plastics waste complicates reycling of that waste resulting in generation of coal — like residue leading often to breakdown of processing equipment. Various approaches to dealing with PVC containing waste have been considered. These include dehalogenation through degradative extrusion, combustion in refuse incinerators with recovery of HCl and various gasification processes. Recovered hydrogen chloride can be utilized as a feedstock for manufacturing of PVC thus partly closing recycling loop.
