Abstract

Amorphous polyolefins, such as propylene-ethylene copolymers, having a recycle content value are obtained by reacting a recycle content feedstock to make recycle content amorphous polyolefins or by deducting from a recycle inventory a recycle content value, which is applied to the amorphous polyolefins. At least a portion of the recycle content value in the feedstock or in an allotment obtained by an amorphous polyolefins manufacturer has its origin in recycled waste plastics.

Claims (26)

1 - 33 . (canceled)

34 . A method of processing a pyrolysis recycle content composition derived directly or indirectly from pyrolysis of a waste plastic (“pr-composition”), a POX gasification recycle content composition derived directly or indirectly from POX gasification of said waste plastic (“POXr-composition”), and/or a solvolysis recycle content composition derived directly or indirectly from solvolysis of said waste plastic (“sr-composition”), said method comprising feeding said pr-composition, said POXr-composition, and/or said sr-composition to a reactor in which a propylene-ethylene copolymer is made, wherein said recycle content composition comprises a propylene composition and/or an ethylene composition.

35 . A method of making a recycle content propylene-ethylene copolymer composition (“r-propylene-ethylene copolymer”), said method comprising polymerizing a recycle content propylene composition and/or a recycle content ethylene composition, at least a portion of which is derived directly or indirectly from pyrolyzing, gasifying, and/or solvolyzing a waste plastic, to produce a propylene-ethylene copolymer effluent comprising said r-propylene-ethylene copolymer.

36 . A method of making a propylene-ethylene copolymer comprising a propylene-ethylene copolymer manufacturer, or one among its Family of Entities:

a. obtaining a propylene composition and/or an ethylene composition from a supplier and either:

i. from said supplier, also obtaining a pyrolysis recycle content allotment, a POX gasification recycle content allotment, and/or a solvolysis recycle content allotment, or

ii. from any person or entity, obtaining a pyrolysis recycle content allotment, a POX gasification recycle content allotment, and/or a solvolysis recycle content allotment without a supply of said propylene composition and/or said ethylene composition from said person or entity transferring said pyrolysis recycle content allotment, said POX gasification recycle content allotment, and/or said solvolysis recycle content allotment; and

b. depositing at least a portion of said pyrolysis recycle content allotment, said POX gasification recycle content allotment, and/or said solvolysis recycle content allotment obtained in step a(i) or step a(ii) into a recycle inventory; and

c. making a propylene-ethylene copolymer composition from any propylene composition and/or ethylene composition obtained from any source.

37 . A recycle content propylene-ethylene copolymer composition (“r-propylene-ethylene copolymer”) obtained by claim 34 .

38 . A recycle content propylene-ethylene copolymer composition (“r-propylene-ethylene copolymer”) obtained by claim 35 .

39 . A recycle content propylene-ethylene copolymer composition (“r-propylene-ethylene copolymer”) obtained by claim 36 .

40 . The method of claims 34 , wherein said r-olefin, said r-propylene, said r-ethylene, and/or said r-propylene-ethylene copolymer is derived directly or indirectly from cracking r-pyoil or obtained from r-pyrolysis gas.

41 . The method of claims 35 , wherein said r-olefin, said r-propylene, said r-ethylene, and/or said r-propylene-ethylene copolymer is derived directly or indirectly from cracking r-pyoil or obtained from r-pyrolysis gas.

42 . The method of claims 36 , wherein said r-olefin, said r-propylene, said r-ethylene, and/or said r-propylene-ethylene copolymer is derived directly or indirectly from cracking r-pyoil or obtained from r-pyrolysis gas.

43 . The method of claims 34 , wherein said r-olefin, said r-propylene, said r-ethylene, and/or said r-propylene-ethylene copolymer is derived directly or indirectly from cracking r-pyoil in a gas furnace.

44 . The method of claims 35 , wherein said r-olefin, said r-propylene, said r-ethylene, and/or said r-propylene-ethylene copolymer is derived directly or indirectly from cracking r-pyoil in a gas furnace.

45 . The method of claims 36 , wherein said r-olefin, said r-propylene, said r-ethylene, and/or said r-propylene-ethylene copolymer is derived directly or indirectly from cracking r-pyoil in a gas furnace.

46 . The method of claim 34 , wherein at least a portion of said propylene composition and/or said ethylene composition is derived directly or indirectly from said pyrolysis of waste plastic and through said cracking of r-pyoil.

47 . The method of claim 35 , wherein at least a portion of said propylene composition and/or said ethylene composition is derived directly or indirectly from said pyrolysis of waste plastic and through said cracking of r-pyoil.

48 . The method of claim 36 , wherein at least a portion of said propylene composition and/or said ethylene composition is derived directly or indirectly from said pyrolysis of waste plastic and through said cracking of r-pyoil.

49 . The method of claim 34 , wherein r- propylene and r-ethylene are used to make said propylene-ethylene copolymer composition.

50 . The method of claim 35 , wherein r- propylene and r-ethylene are used to make said propylene-ethylene copolymer composition.

51 . The method of claim 36 , wherein r- propylene and r-ethylene are used to make said propylene-ethylene copolymer composition.

52 . The method of claim 34 , wherein r- propylene and r-ethylene are used to make said propylene-ethylene copolymer composition.

53 . The method of claim 35 , wherein r- propylene and r-ethylene are used to make said propylene-ethylene copolymer composition.
