PVC recycling in Germany

Used PVC products are far too good to throw away. In order to conserve valuable resources, the PVC industry has therefore organised the recycling of the most important PVC products and is also setting itself ambitious goals for the future in this area.

Plastic window recycling

PVC (polyvinyl chloride) is the raw material used to manufacture high-quality profiles for windows, roller shutters and doors. Material properties such as robustness, security, durability and high thermal insulation with multiple glazing have made PVC-U windows successful throughout Europe. PVC-U windows are the main choice for new builds or energy-efficient modernisation.

Pharmaceutical blister recycling

Medicines that are no longer required must be disposed of safely. This also applies to used pharmaceutical blister packs.
