In this article, we will explore the process of manufacturing PVC leather and how recycling PVC can generate high-value products in the recycling process. We will also delve into breakthrough technologies being applied to reduce the amount of PVC waste released into the environment.

The Necessity of PVC Recycling

PVC leather has limited potential for creating high-value products during recycling. However, if the recycling process can produce commercially valuable products and eliminate PVC waste, it can be cost-effective.

Dow BSL’s PVC Recycling Plant in Leipzig

Dow BSL is operating a PVC recycling plant in Leipzig, Germany, capable of accepting waste with high chlorine content and converting it into pure hydrochloric acid for use in the production of PVC and generating heat and steam from the hydrocarbon component.

Hydrolysis Process at Stigsacs Plant

The Stigsacs plant in Denmark uses a hydrolysis process to transform PVC. This is the dechlorination process of PVC, producing a chlorine-free organic solution used as a raw material. The plant’s capacity is 40,000 tons of PVC waste per year.

PVC Recycling Rate in the EU

Currently, only about 2-3% of PVC waste is recycled in EU countries¹. The recycling rate also depends on regulations applied to the recycling process of PVC containing phthalates and heavy metals.
