Abstract: The present invention relates to a process for reducing the volatile organic compound (VOC) content of plastomers the process comprising the steps of subjecting the plastomer in granular form containing VOCs which is contained in an aeration vessel to a gasflow, and withdrawing granular plastomer from the aeration vessel which has a lower content of VOCs, wherein the average particle size of the granular plastomer is greater than 2.5 mm, preferably greater than 2.7 mm, more preferably greater than 3.0 mm, wherein the gas has a minimum temperature of at least 26° C. measured at a gas inlet of the aeration vessel, and a maximum temperature of 4° C. below the Vicat temperature (10N, ISO 306) of the granular plastomer or 35° C. measured at the gas inlet of the aeration vessel, whatever value is lower, and wherein at least a part of the withdrawn granular plastomer is recirculated to the aeration vessel.
