The present invention relates to a process for the preparation of a Cto Cwax from the thermal decomposition of plastic polymer. The present invention provides a vacuum pyrolysis process for preparing a Cto Cwax from the thermal decomposition of plastic polyolefin polymer, the method comprising the steps of: i) introducing plastic polyolefin polymer into a thermal reaction zone of a vacuum pyrolysis reactor; ii) heating the plastic polyolefin polymer at sub-atmospheric pressure, wherein the temperature in the thermal reaction zone of the reactor is from 500° C. to 750° C., to induce thermal decomposition of the plastic polyolefin polymer and to form a thermal decomposition product effluent which comprises a major portion by weight of a Cto Cwax fraction; and iii) condensing a vapour component of the thermal decomposition product effluent from the vacuum pyrolysis reactor in a multistage condensation comprising a plurality of condensation stages connected in series.
