Abstract: The present invention provides a method of recycling poly(vinyl butyral) resin and incorporating that poly(vinyl butyral) resin into laminated glass and other articles. Poly(vinyl butyral) resin is recovered from discarded laminated glass through a well defined process, as described herein as the present invention, that includes all or most of the steps of granulation of the laminated glass, solvent extraction of plasticizer and impurities, dissolution of poly(vinyl butyral), pre-filtration of insoluble contaminants, color removal via adsorption or bleaching, post-filtration of carbon particles, precipitation of poly(vinyl butyral), and washing, stabilization, and drying of poly(vinyl butyral) resin.
