Catalytic pyrolysis of plastics to produce petrochemical feedstock

A process of producing at least one or more of olefins and aromatic compounds from a plastic feedstock, the process comprising:

• contacting a plastic feedstock and a catalyst composition at a temperature from about 450° C. to about 650° C. in a conical spouted bed reactor and for a time period sufficient to allow at least a portion of the plastic feedstock to be converted to at least one or more olefins and aromatic compounds and;
• wherein the at least one or more olefins is selected from ethylene, propylene, and butenes;
• wherein the process converts the plastic feedstock to greater than about 20 wt % of propylene;
• wherein the catalyst composition comprises greater than 50% w/w of ZSM-5, based on the total weight of the catalyst composition and wherein the ZSM-5 is combined with an active matrix as a separate particle.
