Usually the PET and PVC bottles are separated by manual before they are washed by washing recycling line. Because the PET and PVC bottles' color, shape, usage are very different, it is very easy to distinguish by manual.

But if the mixed PET and PVC flakes, it is very hard to separated by traditional way. But because of their color different, now they can separated by optical sorter.

How do you calculate PVC ppm level in pet flakes?

The only way to do it, professionally, is DSC (Differential Scanning Calorimetry) But what most of everybody does is a lot more simple. Put a handful of PET flakes in an aluminum tray, put it in your kitchen oven (when your wife is not around) heat it up at 210° C for 20 minutes. If you see black spots this is PVC. If flakes only turn yellow, you still have glue. If flakes remain clear you are in very good shape.
