Abstract

A method of recycling plastic waste by feeding a quantity of PET-containing dry fines from the plastic waste to a chemical recycling facility; and depolymerizing in the chemical recycling facility at least a portion of the PET-containing dry fines; wherein the chemical recycling facility comprises a solvolysis facility for depolymerization and the solvolysis facility is a methanolysis facility, and wherein the dry fines are recovered from a solid-liquid separator and/or dust collector in a PET reclaimer facility and/or a manufacturer of PET articles, in which dust is generated from conveying, drying, densification, centrifugation processes, and/or grinding PET-containing plastic material.
