Grant Activity:
Round Like A Record: Vinyl & The Circular Economy.
Purpose:
This project will develop an environmentally friendly dissolution technique to separate polyvinyl chloride from other components in the waste matrix to produce near virgin-grade polyvinyl chloride for reuse in new applications. Polyvinyl chloride is a versatile and durable material with many applications, from water pipes to wire insulation, and is indispensable to modern life. Australians consume ~500,000 tonnes of polyvinyl chloride annually and produce ~200,000 tonnes of end-of-life polyvinyl chloride. Unfortunately, less than 5% of this is recycled. polyvinyl chloride derives its versatility from its many different formulations and additives. However, this means conventional recycling methods are ineffective as end-of-life polyvinyl chloride is an inherently mixed waste stream.
