AB  - Due to the increasing use and widespread of plastics, poly (ethylene terephthalate) (PET) and poly
(vinyl chloride) (PVC) are becoming one of the major threats to the environment. The aim of this
paper is obtaining plasticizers from recycled PET, and hot/cold mixing thereof with PVC to produce
new materials. Plasticizer was obtained from PET using ethylene glycol (EG) in the presence of
catalyst FASCAT 4100, followed by treatment with maleic anhydride and finally 2-ethylhexanol
(2-EtHex). The obtained glycolysate and plasticizer, individually or mixtures thereof, were used for
the production of polygranulates based on waste PVC in order to obtain an expanded mass of
homogenized PVC with glycolysate/plasticizer. The abovementioned procedures and test results for
the regranulates and products indicate that the proposed technology offers a solution to the problem
of waste PET and PVC through transesterification in order to obtain plasticizer based on PET and
EG, called 2-EtHex/MA/РG/PET/EG/MA/2-EtHex used in the processing of PVC waste and in
regranulate. The obtained regranulates are further processed by injection molding or extrusion into
commercial products such as slippers, footwear, boots, garden hoses, mats, floor mats, etc.
