An apparatus for treating contaminated plastics waste comprises a drum (8) which is mounted for rotation above a heating chamber (10) and is enclosed within an enclosure having lockable front access panels (3). During heating in the heating chamber, the front panels (3) are locked by electronically controlled locks (47) and the enclosure is exhausted by an impeller (7) which draws hot gas from the heating chamber over the drum and thereby sterilises the drum. The plastics waste is held in the heating zone at a temperature and for a period sufficient to disinfect it. |
