Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for the conversion of waste plastics into various useful downstream recycle-content products. More particularly, the present system and method involves integrating a pyrolysis facility with a cracker facility by introducing at least a stream of r-pyrolysis gas into the cracker facility.

Abstract: Chemical recycling facilities for processing mixed plastic waste are provided herein. Such facilities have the capability of processing mixed plastic waste streams and utilize a variety of recycling facilities, such as, for example, solvolysis facility, a pyrolysis facility, a cracker facility, a partial oxidation gasification facility, an energy generation/energy production facility, and a solidification facility. Streams from one or more of these individual facilities may be used as feed to one or more of the other facilities, thereby maximizing recovery of valuable chemical components and minimizing unusable waste streams.

Abstract: A poly(vinyl acetal) composition, such as a poly(vinyl butyral) composition or resin, can be made containing recycle content by the use of a recycle content aldehyde composition as a feedstock to make the PVA or by application of a recycle allotment, such as an allocation or credit, applied to either the aldehyde composition or to the PVA composition. The recycle content is obtained by cracking a recycle content pyrolysis oil to make a variety of olefins, such as propylene or ethylene.

Abstract: A composition having a recycle content value is obtained by reacting a recycle content feedstock to make a recycle content oxo alcohol or oxo plasticizer or by deducting from a recycle inventory a recycle content value applied to an oxo alcohol or oxo plasticizer composition. At least a portion of the recycle content value in the feedstock or in an allotment obtained by an oxo alcohol or oxo plasticizer manufacturer has its origin in recycled waste and/or pyrolysis of recycled waste and/or in thermal steam cracking of recycle content pyoil.

Abstract: Processes and systems for making recycle content hydrocarbons, including olefins, from recycled waste material. Recycle waste material may be pyrolyzed to form recycle content pyrolysis oil composition (r-pyoil), at least a portion of which may then be cracked to form a recycle content olefin composition (r-olefin). The r-olefin may then be further separated into product streams in a separation zone downstream of the cracker furnace. In some cases, presence of recycle content hydrocarbons may facilitate more efficient operation of one or more distillation columns in the separation zone, including the deethanizer and ethylene fractionator.
