Our third presence at PRSE - Plastics Recycling Show Europe is another essential event for BENVIC. The PRSE is the right place where, as a recycler-compounder, BENVIC can demonstrate its new premise, "Redesign Plastics. For Good."

Insight
BENVIC has, under its subsidiary company, BENVIC RECYCLING, managed a significant investment to improve its capacities and capabilities to meet the new horizon of PVC recycling.
New equipment regarding sorting, homogenization, and regeneration leads to the production of secondary raw materials (SRM) not only according to the regulations, such as legacy additive compliance, but also being able to meet specific testing requirements for particular applications. After addressing the cable conducts for which BENVIC supports its customer to improve their scope 3, the next target is the window application.
For France, Benvic can primarily deliver SRM according to the QB34 certification by managing specific tests, batch to batch. Our mission will be to support our direct customers, profile producers, and windows producers to help them in their sustainability programs.
Soft PVC recycling is another challenge where legacy additive regulation makes things difficult. We are thinking "out of the box" with mechanical recycled solutions for typical applications, such as electrical cables before new recycling techniques are available to extract legacy additives. For fluid fittings, we launched an innovative approach with the IR25R grades with a specific formulation strategy to get recycling content without the circularity constraints, applicable in 2026. We will meet, during PRSE, companies who want to make effective sustainability plans around PVC materials to support them in this way.
On top of our core PVC activities, BENVIC is actively progressing in other segments than construction, where PVC is mainly predominant, to others such as consumer goods, electrical and electronics, and automotive. First, our formulation and production know-how in polypropylene compounds allows us to integrate a significant fraction of post-consumer recyclate (PRC). All main subfamilies, tact, calcium carbonate and glass filled, are eligible for this improvement with a simple target: keep the material performance as close as possible to the virgin one.
Specific strategies are developed for some properties, such as colour matching, where PRC generate significant limitations. Aside from the rPP compounds, our DOT-R range, dedicated to non-PVC and recycled materials, BENVIC is developing bespoke solutions, either on some other thermoplastic families such as rABS or based on specific feedstocks to challenge existing virgin thermoplastics. Specific alloys around rPET are another innovative way to substitute materials such as ABS-PC by maximizing the PRC amount.
Regulation changes, such as eco-design and end-of-life vehicle directives, lead to being open for new ideas where BENVIC can apply its compounding DNA leaned in PVC compounding: the right material at an adequate cost level, but with a substantial environmental impact reduction.
BENVIC's focus is also on specific segments, such as cable.
Our Linkflex series, a halogen-free flame retardant compound family, can offer the possibility to integrate PRC for some grades, thanks to deep formulation know-how, without compromising performance.
Integrating post-consumer content is the next horizon for a compounder like BENVIC, made from non-recurrent and heterogeneous feedstocks available materials with controlled features with improved life cycle assessment. There are several ways to go depending on applications and design-in requirements: BENVIC can assist you at every product and process validation stage.
Let's meet at PRSE, Hall 1, stand C-40, to discuss it.
