A method for recovering resin from a salvage vehicle is provided that includes the steps of: dismantling the salvage vehicle to obtain a salvage vehicle shell; shredding the salvage vehicle shell to obtain a first shredder dust; air sorting the first shredder dust to obtain first low-specific-gravity dust and first high-specific-gravity dust which is higher specific gravity than the first low-specific-gravity dust; and wet gravitational sorting the first high-specific-gravity dust, in which interior components containing fiber are removed upon dismantling the salvage vehicle, and further including steps of shredding the interior components to obtain second shredder dust; and air sorting the second shredder dust to obtain second low-specific-gravity dust and second high-specific-gravity dust which is higher specific gravity than the second low-specific-gravity dust.

A plant for production of a mixture of waste based on polyolefins and XPS suitable for feeding into a pyrolytic reactor. The plant includes: a feeding station that releases a flow of material to be treated; a first station for removing the metal fragments; at least one optical separator for removing the non-polyolefin polymers and the textile and cellulosic fractions; a screen for removing the foreign bodies with dimensions smaller than a predefined minimum; a shredder for reducing the particle size of the material to be treated; a second station for removing the metal fragments; and an aeraulic separator for separating the three-dimensional polyolefin fraction from the two-dimensional polyolefin fraction. The embodiments also concern a method for the production of a mixture of waste based on polyolefin and XPS, suitable for chemical recycling.

A plastic recycling method for processing plastic waste, including providing a plastic waste mixture stream having, on the one hand, a variable proportion of 2D material and a variable proportion of 3D material and, on the other hand, an inhomogeneous density distribution, the proportions varying over time. Washing both proportions of the plastic waste mixture stream together. Shredding both proportions of the plastic waste mixture stream together while supplying a cleaning fluid. Density-based separation of the plastic waste mixture stream into at least two fractions, wherein the separation is performed as a function of a predeterminable density separation cut; and for at least one of the separated fractions: separating the fraction of 2D material and the fraction of 3D material from each other.
