The PVC fraction is processed by various techniques to PVC granule or directly to a final PVC product. This is usually achieved by heating and molding through an extruder.
Recycled PVC granules and joinery are used for:
- IN INDUSTRY
PVC granule has many applications – it is a raw material for the production of window joinery, pipes, fasteners and others.
- FOR MANUFACTURING DOORS AND WINDOWS
PVC joinery is used for making doors and windows. The material has great durability, hardness, is resistant to atmospheric influences, has heat and noise insulating properties.
WASTE
REDUCTION

waste deposited in landfills –
the decomposition of PVC can
exceed a century.
RATIONAL USE OF
NATURAL RESOURCES
Increase the use of
raw materials from
recycling and reduce the use
of natural resources.
EASY ACCESS
TO RAW MATERIALS
Facilitating the access of
PVC product manufacturers to
raw materials and reducing their cost due to the use of
