Zusammenfassung:The invention relates to a process for recovery of rubber-modified vinyl(co)polymer from a polycarbonate resin or an optionally shredded molded part made thereof wherein the polycarbonate resin comprisesA) Polycarbonate based on aromatic or aliphatic diol or mixtures thereofB) Rubber-modified vinyl(co)polymerwherein the process comprises the stepsi) Bringing into contact the resin or the optionally shredded molded part made thereof with at least one alcohol together with at least one transesterification catalyst to obtain a slurry (i) wherein the solid fraction of the slurry (i) comprises the polycarbonate resin or the optionally shredded molded part made thereof and the liquid fraction of the slurry (i) comprises the alcoholii) heating the slurry (i) to 60 to 90 °C, preferably 65 to 85 °C and keeping the temperature to obtain a slurry (ii) wherein the solid fraction of the slurry (ii) comprises rubber-modified vinyl(co)polymer and the liquid fraction of the slurry comprises aliphatic and/or aromatic diol;iii) separating the solid fraction from the liquid fraction of the slurry (ii);iv) optionally washing the solid fraction;and the use of the recovered rubber-modified vinyl (co)polymer for the production of molded parts as well as blend partner in polycarbonate blends. Further optional aspects are the recovery of aromatic and/or aliphatic diol and the use of this diol for the production of polycarbonates.
