Recycling plastic waste into triboelectric nanogenerators (TENGs) presents a sustainable approach to energy harvesting, self‐powered sensing, and environmental remediation. This study investigates the recycling of polyvinyl chloride (PVC) pipe polymers nanofibers (NFs) optimized for TENG applications. We focused on optimizing morphology recycled PVC polymer NFs enhancing their piezoelectric properties by incorporating ZnO nanoparticles (NPs). The PVC/0.5 wt% were tested with Nylon‐6 NFs, copper (Cu) electrodes. exhibited power density 726.3 μW cm −2 —1.13 times higher than Cu maintained 90% stability after 172 800 cycles, successfully powering various colored LEDs. Additionally, 3D‐designed device was developed harvest from biomechanical movements such as finger tapping, hand foot pressing, making it suitable wearable automatic switches, invisible sensors in surveillance systems. demonstrates that devices can effectively address energy, sensor, challenges.
