Abstract
PLASTIC is a revolutionary invention which brought many changes in industrial & daily activities. But in more recent times it has resulted in a major problem due to the increasing usage of landfills which has led to increased pollution due to its high degradation time & and no established disposal method with minimal environmental impact. As the generation of plastic waste is increasing day by day, many engineering processes have been found to convert them to alternative fuels. Pyrolysis is the most useful and prominent method as it has a wide range of uses and helps in the reduction of the large amount of plastic waste. Pyrolysis is a process which converts the large hydrocarbon chains present to smaller hydrocarbon chains by heating the plastics at high temperature (350–400 °C), the products obtained are fuel oil and non-condensable fractions. The fuel oil can be used for heating purposes and non-condensable fractions to reduce air pollution. Polythene, Polypropylene are used as they are pure hydrocarbons and burnt cleanly. These fuels are used as industrial feedstock in many industries like petroleum refineries, alkene production etc.We are now considering plastic as a waste product but upon reprocessing and application of new technologies can yield many valuable products which can lead us to a sustainable and healthy environment in future.
