Method for recycling post-consumer absorbent article

A method for recovering plastic material(s) from a post-consumer disposable absorbent article comprising a topsheet, a backsheet, an absorbent core, a hot melt adhesive composition H, wherein at least one of the topsheet and the backsheet comprises at least one plastic material,

• wherein the hot melt adhesive composition H comprises:
• at least one polymer P selected from the group consisting of polyolefins, thermoplastic block copolymers of a vinyl-based aromatic hydrocarbon and a conjugated diene compound, and mixtures thereof;
• at least one tackifier T comprising at least one ester group or carboxylic acid group;
• the method being characterized in that it comprises:
• a step i) of providing a post-consumer disposable absorbent article,
• a step ii) of immersing the post-consumer disposable absorbent article in an alkaline aqueous solution in conditions sufficient to obtain debonding of plastic material(s), and
• a step iii) of separation and recovering of plastic material(s) from the medium.
