Now a days, PVC flex sheets (Banners) are used for almost all kinds of advertisements or information. These low cost and durable materials are flexible and almost unaffected by sunlight, heat and rain. They have been used for political popularity, public and private advertisement, religious festivals, family functions etc., These banners are mostly thrown away as landfills which cause environmental pollution. The present work deals with the physic-chemical analysis, photo degradation, thermal degradation and biodegradation of waste /used PVC flex materials collected from Sendurai, Ariyalur and Udayarpalayam Taluks in Ariyalur District, Tamil Nadu. Also, a few utility articles like flower vase, bag etc. were made from the used PVC flex sheets.
