In this paper, we develop a new approach to obtain the compactness of the fluctuation processes for Boltzmann dynamics. Our method is applicable to Kac's model, already studied by Uchiyama, but it covers many other cases. A novelty worth mentioning is the use of the weak topology of a Hilbert space.
