The process comprises selecting waste plastics containing polyethylene and/or polypropylene and preparing a stable blend of petroleum and the selected plastic. The amount of plastic in the blend comprises no more than 20 wt. % of the blend. The blend is passed to a refinery hydrocracking unit. A liquid petroleum gas C3 olefin/paraffin mixture is recovered from the hydrocracking unit. The C3 paraffins and C3 olefins are separated into different fractions with the C3 olefin fraction passed to a propylene polymerization reactor, and the C3 paraffin fraction passed optionally to a dehydrogenation unit to produce additional propylene. A heavy fraction can also be recovered from the hydrocracking unit and passed to an isomerization dewaxing unit to prepare base oil.
