Recycling News
In the world of PET recycling, PVC (polyvinyl chloride) is a dreaded contaminant. Even in trace amounts, PVC can wreak havoc during the processing and remanufacturing of post-consumer PET resin, leading to significant quality issues in the final product. For context, PVC contamination as low as 50 parts per million (ppm)—equivalent to just 0.05 kg of PVC in 1,000 kg of PET flakes—can cause severe problems. This minuscule concentration (0.005%) can lead to the breakdown of PET resin, resulting in brittleness, discoloration (yellowing), and the release of hazardous chlorine vapors. These issues undermine two of PET's most valued properties: clarity and impact strength.
