In the public and administration the acceptance for landfilling or incineration of plastic wastes is decreasing. By pyrolysis it is possible to recover hydrocarbons from polymers. Rotary kilns and fluidized bed processes are investigated as processes. As yet, no process has come to an industrial stage. The fact that more plastic wastes will be collected in the future gives a chance for building plants with higher capacity which will be working more economically. Mechanical problems with feed and output could be solved.
