08 Oct 2021 --- Solvay has established a proof of concept demonstrating polyvinylidene chloride (PVDC) can be recycled. Consequently, the company is urging fellow plastics producers to work together to turn PVDC recycling into a reality. The proof of concept involves recycling Solvay’s Ixan PVDC bioriented film, which comes from a post-industrial waste source from food packaging. Solvay maintains its recycling process does not compromise on the high-barrier polymer’s performance.
