We describe examples in which we have demonstrated the feasibility of collection, separation, cleaning, and manufacture of several recycled products. We show that vinyl in municipal solid waste can be recycled into bottles, drainage pipe, and drainage pipe fittings with good appearance and properties. We also demonstrate the feasibility that vinyl wire and cable can be recycled into a variety of applications, including wire and cable traffic cones and drainage pipe with good appearance and properties.
