Plastic Recycling - British Plastics Federation
VinylPlus is built around five commitments aimed at: significantly increasing the recycling rates of PVC and the development of innovative recycling technologies, addressing concerns about organochlorine emissions, ensuring the sustainable use of additives, enhancing energy efficiency and the use of renewable energy and raw materials in PVC production, and promoting sustainability throughout
Plasticizers for the PVC industry are now also available based on
Plasticizers for the PVC industry are now also available based on renewable and chemically recycled feedstock April 15, 2025 BASF now offers part of its plasticizer portfolio based on circular feedstocks. For this purpose, either renewable or chemically recycled feedstock is used at the beginning of the value chain instead of fossil resources.

These materials are derived from organic waste or vegetable oils. Biomass balanced plasticizers have a lower carbon footprint than the conventional ones and help save fossil resources. Both, BASF’s mass balance approach and BMB plasticizers are certified according to REDcert 2. Ccycled TM plasticizer based on chemically recycled feedstock

About Plasticizers for PVC The plasticizers are organic substances with various characteristics, whose main function is to intercalate the rigid polymer structures of material such as PVC for an easy movement and flexibility, making them more precisely "plastics."
- Is pevalen a phthalate based plasticizer?
- Finally, Sweden’s Perstorp has developed a renewably sourced, non-phthalate-based PVC plasticizer with its new Pevalen™ Pro, a PETV (PentaErythritol TetraValerate) product. The Pevalen™ Pro plasticizer product line is composed of three grades ranging from 8% to 36% renewable content.
- How do plasticizers affect the performance of PVC products?
- Plasticizers influence the flexibility, workability, and durability of PVC products. Choosing the right type of plasticizer can enhance the performance characteristics of PVC while also addressing environmental and health concerns.
- What are plasticizers used for?
- These characteristics make PVC a versatile material used across numerous industries, from construction to healthcare. Plasticizers serve as essential additives in enhancing the performance of PVC. By reducing the glass transition temperature, they enable products to maintain functionality under various conditions.
- What makes a good plasticizer?
- A good plasticizer must blend uniformly with the PVC matrix, ensuring that it does not phase-separate or lead to inconsistency in the material properties. An effective means to evaluate compatibility is through the analysis of: Solubility: The plasticizer should dissolve in PVC without forming precipitates.
- Is Perstorp a good plasticizer?
- The durability and performance provided by Emoltene™ 100 and the sustainable features of our non-phthalate Pevalen™ makes Perstorp a great choice for a wide range of PVC Plasticizer applications. Pevalen™: A plasticizer developed with the future in mind.
- Are bio-based plasticizers a good choice for PVC products?
- Utilizing biobased plasticizers enhances the eco-friendliness of PVC products while retaining the necessary performance characteristics. Furthermore, they often undergo a different metabolic pathway, potentially reducing toxicity concerns.
