“…In our endeavor to enhance the physico-chemical and thermomechanical characteristics of rigid polyvinyl chloride (PVC), we have innovated by developing a bio-composite. This material is predominantly composed of PVC, representing 90% of the total composition, and also incorporates a biological filler derived from bovine horn, constituting 10% (Figure 3 and Figure 4) [15,16]. Our bioloading approach aims to harness the intrinsic properties of bovine horn, rich in keratin [38], to reinforce and diversify the characteristics of PVC.…”

Polyvinyl chloride remains one of the most prevalent polymers in the industry, yet its substantial environmental impact, attributed to its fossil origin, prompts the exploration of innovative solutions. Composites, particularly bio-composites, emerge as promising alternatives to mitigate the ecological footprint of PVC while enhancing its characteristics. This study addresses this concern by presenting the development of a bio-composite comprising 90% PVC and 10% biological filler derived from bovine horn, renowned for its high keratin content. The primary objective was to create an innovative, environmentally friendly, and sustainable material. To rigorously assess the properties and thermal stability of this bio-composite, a comparative thermogravimetric analysis was conducted against virgin PVC. The results reveal the superior thermal stability of the biocomposite compared to virgin PVC, particularly beyond 280℃. This enhancement is attributed to the substantial presence of keratin in the biological filler, constituting nearly 90% of the horn biomass. Notably, the observed mass loss in the bio-composite is lower than that of virgin PVC at temperatures exceeding 280℃. This research underscores the potential of bio-composites, specifically those incorporating bovine horn-derived filler, as promising alternatives to mitigate the ecological footprint of PVC while concurrently improving its thermomechanical characteristics. The innovative material developed in this study holds promise for sustainable applications in various industries, aligning with the growing demand for environmentally conscious alternatives.

“…Among its waste are the horns (figure 7 below), which are thrown or incinerated in trash cans, with the exception of a small quantity intended for traditional crafts for the manufacture of key chains or decoration products. [8] to [11] Figure 7: Cow horns Also more than 490,000 tons of red meat consumed in Morocco, which implies a large quantity of horns lost or rather wasted in nature. Research engineers began to recycle horns by grinding them into objects through the sintering process.…”

“…Second classified after polyethylene, PVC has become the focus of many industrialists and researchers for the production and recycling of waste. [1] to [4], [11] Scientific research on PVC recycling becomes a glaring necessity by citing the tonnages of waste recycled in the VinylPlus framework during the period from January 1, 2019 to December 31, 2019, by the initiatives of the EuPC sector groups and industry associations and by Recovinyl. [23] The study on PVC recycling begins first with artificial aging simulating the effects of real aging [5] consists of accelerating the degradation of the material using an oven with ultraviolet rays.…”

With the increase in plastic waste, recycling becomes an urgent necessity to reduce and revalue it. PVC is one of the most widely used types of plastic in the world, and indeed it is among the most recycled. The effect of recycling on PVC or any other type of material is to reduce these characteristics, which also depends on the method by which it is recycled. Finding a way to increase the recyclability number of PVC by improving the mechanical characteristics will be an addition at the level of scientific research as well as at the industrial level. The addition of a bio-loading in the form of cow horns, coconut or chicken feathers on the rigid and flexible PVC with an experimental study of the results obtained allow to deduce the most adequate bio-loaded material to improve the mechanical characteristics after recycling. The experiments carried out on rigid and flexible PVC demonstrated the evolutions brought to PVC with and without loading after recycling The results obtained showed an improvement in the mechanical properties of rigid and flexible PVC with a natural bio-loading with the three fibers of coconut, cow horns and chicken feathers which enhance the environment, are very light and can be collected. directly from the waste with a large amount.
