Provided is a continuous process for converting waste plastic into recycle for polyethylene polymerization. In one embodiment, the process comprises selecting waste plastics containing polyethylene and/or polypropylene and passing the waste plastics through a pyrolysis reactor to thermally crack at least a portion of the polyolefin waste and produce a pyrolyzed effluent. The pyrolyzed effluent is separated into offgas, a naphtha/diesel fraction, a heavy fraction, and char. The naphtha/diesel fraction is passed to a crude unit distillation column in a refinery where a straight run naphtha (C.sub.5-C.sub.8) fraction or a propane/butane (C.sub.3-C.sub.4) fraction is recovered. The straight run naphtha fraction (C.sub.5-C.sub.8) or the propane/butane (C.sub.3-C.sub.4) fraction is passed to a steam cracker for ethylene production. The heavy fraction from the pyrolysis unit can also be passed to an isomerization dewaxing unit to produce a base oil.

Disclosed herein is a process to convert PVC plastic into a dechlorinated polymer, such as high density polyethylene, while substantially avoiding carbonization. The process also facilitates Cl recovery and/or reintroducing the dechlorinated plastic into product streams. In some embodiments, the process comprises heating a mixture of PVC and a catalyst and/or a base in a solvent, optionally in the presence of hydrogen gas.
