Westlake Vinnolit’s new GreenVin circular-attributed PVC is produced using renewable power and circular ethylene derived from mixed plastics packaging waste
Westlake Vinnolit is pushing the boundaries of sustainable plastics with the launch of GreenVin circular-attributed PVC, complementing its existing GreenVin and GreenVin bio-attributed PVC lines.
“The future is circular and low-carbon,” the company declared, highlighting its commitment to eco-friendly innovation.
PVC is highly recyclable through mechanical methods, which remain the preferred approach for both ecological and economic reasons. However, thermo-chemical recycling processes are emerging as a solution for plastic waste that is difficult to recycle and would otherwise end up in landfills or incinerators.
Westlake Vinnolit’s new GreenVin circular-attributed PVC is produced using renewable power (GOs) and circular ethylene derived from mixed plastics packaging waste that cannot be mechanically recycled. Mass-balanced according to ISCC PLUS, it delivers the same product quality as when using fossil raw materials.
“GreenVin circular-attributed PVC is particularly suitable when the application requires PVC recyclate with a quality equivalent to that of virgin material,” the company noted, positioning it as a high-performance, sustainable alternative for industries seeking circular solutions.
