How can waste polymers be disposed of?

  • recycling

  • PVC recycling

    • releases hydrogen chloride and other pollutants

    • new technology uses solvents to dissolve the polymer

  • using them as fuel

    • incinerated to produce heat, generate steam and drive a turbine to produce electricity

  • feedstock recycling

    • chemical and thermal processes to reclaim monomers from waste

    • can be used as raw material for new polymers
