Abstract
Plastic waste will potentially cause serious environmental problems. In this study aluminum-plasticspackaging waste is recycled into pellets for alternative fuel. Plastic waste is pelletized using an extruder with temperature variations of 140°C, 160°C and 180°C. Then, the calorific value, moisture content, density and compressive strength of the pellet were measured. The calorific value of the pellet is 38.79 mJ/ Kg. The density value shows good results because it exceeds the standard density for pellet solid fuel of more than 600 kg/m3. Meanwhile, the compressive strength exceeding the specified standard and experiencing an increase from each temperature variant. The economic feasibility analysis shows an NPV of Rp. 3.249.934.093. IRR 28.16%, B/CR 1.617 and PP 5.84 years. From these data, it indicates that the aluminum foil plastic pellet business is possible to be implemented.
