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.

An object of the present invention is to provide a grease composition which has little influence on the environment and has good rust prevention and water resistance against salt water such as sea water. The grease composition comprises a biodegradable base oil and a rust-preventive agent comprising a calcium sulfonate complex and a sorbitan fatty acid ester, wherein a total content of biodegradable organic substances in the grease composition is 75% by mass or more, and wherein a content of the rust-preventive agent is 2.5 to 30% by mass.
