A process and system for liquefying and dehalogenating a waste plastic are provided. Generally, the process comprises: (a) liquefying solid waste plastic to produce a liquefied waste plastic; (b) heating at least a portion of the molten waste plastic in a heat exchanger to thereby provide a heated liquefied waste plastic; (c) sparging a stripping gas into the heated liquefied waste plastic to produce a multi-phase mixture; and (d) disengaging a gaseous phase from a liquid phase of the multi-phase mixture to thereby provide a halogen-enriched gaseous material and a halogen-depleted liquefied waste plastic.

A process for the segregation, sterilization, and purification of recycled plastic medical waste with the subsequent production of plastic products made therefrom is disclosed. Also disclosed is a method for the front-end segregation of recycled plastic medical waste into a polypropylene waste stream and a mixed plastic waste stream. These segregated streams are further purified through a processing method that removes contaminating fibrous, metal and other waste products. Polypropylene and mixed plastic streams isolated using these methods yield a homogenous material that can be blended with other materials for the production of raw plastic or for extrusion to form commercial plastic products. A method for tracking regulated and non-regulated medical waste stream production kinetics and chain of custody from discrete waste disposal sites is also disclosed.
