**4.3 Applications of recycled PVC**

Polyvinyl chloride waste has been used in plumbing pipes and fittings, but its utilization as a binder in bitumen applications has been found unsuccessful due to high melting points which hindered the mixing as a result of poor compatibility [51]. PVC sheets have been reported to be employed for making food trays, cling film and blister packages [13], household appliances, packaging, construction, medicine such as human rehabilitation, electronics, automotive and aerospace components [29], and building floor applications [52].
