General comment Polyvinyl chloride (PVC) is a significant plastic derived from petroleum, widely used in everyday items. The recycling of PVC is challenging due to its high chlorine content and hazardous additives. However, it can be recycled into various products, including flooring, roofing, wall coverings, and automotive parts. PVC is made by reacting chlorine, carbon, and ethylene together to create a compound called Vinyl Chloride Monomer, which then undergoes polymerisation to result in base PVC.
