    Abstract: A process involving the steps in this order of: providing a waste plastics stream (A) comprising polyvinyl chloride (PVC); (i) supplying the waste plastics stream (A) to a reactor vessel; (ii) subjecting the waste plastics in the reactor vessel to a temperature of ≥250° C. and ≤350° C., preferably of ≥275° C. and ≤325° C., preferably for a period of 5-30 minutes, under applying a vacuum, preferably of ≤35 mbar, or using an inert gas sweep, and evacuating the generated hydrogen chloride (B) from the vessel, wherein the PVC is partially dechlorinated to form a waste plastics stream (C) comprising partially unsaturated PVC; (iii) removing the waste plastics stream (C) comprising partially unsaturated PVC from the reaction vessel; and (iv) separating the partially unsaturated PVC from the waste plastics stream to form a dechlorinated waste plastics stream (D).
