Abstract: A plastic composition includes plastic material free from halogenated components or with a halogen content less than or equal to 0.5% by mass with respect to the plastic material, oligomers derived from the plastic contained in the plastic material, halogenated salts, and hydrocarbon.

Abstract: Process for the production of 1,3-butadiene comprising: feeding a mixture (a) comprising 1,3-butanediol and water to an evaporator, said water being present in an amount of greater than or equal to 5% by weight, preferably ranging from 10% by weight to 85% by weight, more preferably ranging from 15% by weight to 30% by weight, relative to the total weight of said mixture (a), to obtain: (b) a gaseous stream comprising 1,3-butanediol exiting from the top of said evaporator; and, optionally, (c) a blowdown stream exiting from the bottom of said evaporator; feeding said gaseous stream (b) to a first reactor containing at least one dehydration catalyst to obtain (d) a stream comprising alkenols, water and, optionally, impurities and/or unreacted 1,3-butanediol, exiting from said first reactor; optionally, feeding said stream (d) to a first purification section to obtain: (e) a stream comprising alkenols, water, and, optionally, impurities; (f) a stream comprising water and, optionally, impurities and/or unreacted
