A process for reusing a plastic article having a plastic body and a coating layer is discloses which includes the following steps: peeling the coating layer, formed on the plastic body, away from the plastic body by using a high pressure water jet stream; and pulverizing the plastic body for reuse. Hot water may be also used. Instead of the water, it is possible to use high pressure steam.
