Solvent based recycling process of polyolefins

A solvent-based recycling process for recycling waste polymer material (1), the waste polymer material (1) comprising at least one polyolefin (2), the process comprising the steps of

• a) obtaining the waste polymer material (1) comprising the at least one polyolefin (2);
• b) contacting the waste polymer material (1) with at least one dissolving solvent (3) yielding a slurry stream (4) of polymer solution (5) and undissolved solids (6);
• c) screening the slurry stream (4) yielding the undissolved solids (6) and a stream of the polymer solution (5);
• d) vapor-liquid separating the stream of polymer solution (5) into a polymer-lean vapor stream (9) and a polymer-rich condensed stream (10);
• e) recovering the at least one polyolefin (2) from the polymer-rich condensed stream (10);
• wherein the at least one dissolving solvent (3) has a boiling point temperature at 1 bar of equal to or more than 70° C.
