This paper is dedicated to the development of a robust and cost‐effective formulation to maximize the use of recycled poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC) back into its virgin compounds. This study concludes that a balanced stabilizer and lubricant formulation will overcome the detrimental effects of repeated heat history on the recycled/regrind PVC. The developed formulation using up to 70% of recycled/regrind PVC has been successfully implemented in the extrusion process for manufacturing high‐quality foam PVC profiles for the building industry. As a result, this study takes a huge step forward toward a green and sustainable solution for PVC applications. J. VINYL ADDIT. TECHNOL., 2011. © 2011 Society of Plastics Engineers
