Effective utilization of waste plastic materials is one of key technologies for environmental protection. In this work, we conducted fundamental researches on production techniques of reduced iron and H2 and CO gases from waste plastic materials (polyethylene and Refuse Derived Fuel) and iron oxide mixtures. The mixtures were heated up at the temperatures of 1000–1300°C in Ar gas stream. Concentrations of generated gases from samples were continuously measured by a quad-pole mass spectrometer.Conversion ratios into H2 from waste plastic materials reached 60–70% at 1300°C both in thermal decomposition of the waste plastic materials and reduction of the mixture samples. In the reduction of the mixture samples, conversion ratios into CO reached 70–80% at 1300°C. Final fractional reductions of samples containing RDF at 1200°C and 1300°C were 100%. When waste plastic materials are used as a reducing agent, plastics which contain large amount of fixed carbon are suitable to obtain a high fractional reduction.
