AB  - Feedstock recycling of high-density polyethylene (HDPE) over fluid catalytic 
      cracking (FCC) catalysts (1:6 ratio) was carried out using a laboratory fluidized 
      bed reactor operating at 450 degrees C. Fresh and steam deactivated commercial 
      FCC catalysts with different levels of rare earth oxide (REO) were compared as 
      well as used FCC catalysts (E-Cats) with different levels of metal poisoning. 
      Fresh FCC catalysts gave the highest results of HDPE degradation in terms of 
      yield of volatile hydrocarbon product. Meanwhile, steamed FCC catalysts and used 
      FCC catalysts showed similar but lower yields. Overall, the product yields from 
      HDPE cracking showed that the level of metal contamination (nickel and vanadium) 
      did not affect the product stream generated from polymer cracking. This study 
      gives promising results as an alternative technique for the cracking and 
      recycling of polymer waste.
