The invention relates to a method for processing a mixture of cellulose/plastic waste particles comprising cellulose and thermoplastic materials. The thermoplastic material constitutes at least 10 weight% of the total weight of the waste mixture. The cellu- lose/plastic waste mixture is first dried by treatment with a medium with a temperature in the range of 50 to 150 °C, wherein the exit temperature of the drying medium has a temperature of 115 °C or less. The dried cellulose/plastic waste mixture is then fed to a purification stage, and subjected to the operation of the purification stage. The purification stage comprises at least one separator selected from the group of: wind separator, sieve, metal separator, separator for separating out chlorine- containing components, or a combination thereof. |
