UPVC Full Form: 

Unplasticised Polyvinyl Chloride

What is UPVC?

Unplasticized polyvinyl chloride, also known as uPVC, is a hard plastic substance frequently used in windows and doors. The material is resistant to a variety of things, including pollution. Because of this, uPVC windows are a more durable option than timber and aluminum windows. It is heated to a high temperature before being injected into a mould to create uPVC profiles. Several cooling techniques are used to form the heated substance.

UPVC may actually be recycled numerous times without substantially losing quality, despite the vast amounts that end up in landfills. After processing, it can be reinserted immediately into the production line and utilized to create brand-new window frames as well as a variety of other goods. The only thing that could affect how recyclable it is is the presence of contaminants. However, the majority of the components used to create UPVC windows can be recycled when handled and divided with care into distinct waste streams.
