Summary:Abramov discusses that the utilization of scrap plastic products is an important component in the chain of recycling industrial and domestic waste. He also explains that it is a more complex problem compared with the utilization of waste of other materials. From this, it can be concluded that the problem of processing PVC waste materials, by comparison with the processing of the waste of other large-tonnage thermoplastics, is technically more complex, which is why the volumes of reprocessing of PVC waste materials have fallen far behind. The results of the given investigation, obtained by systematic analysis of ecological and economic aspects, are acceptable only for mixed cable waste of the described content and for the four processing methods studied.
