Abstract

The gargantuan escalation in the myriad of plastic waste in emerging and developing countries has led to the augmented atrocities concerning the environmental impact and health disquietude due to their ubiquitous nature. Burgeoning in the conversion of plastic waste into energy is a captivating strategy to circumvent the power generation shortages, greenhouse gas emissions, restricted space for landfilling, and can unravel the emanation of plastic waste disposal. Indeed, this transformation sporadically enunciated as a magic bullet to address all impediments created by plastics in municipal solid waste. Plastic waste recycling has empirical significance and commercial worth for recuperation of resources and environmental welfare but to attain sustainable development, emphasis on the metamorphosis of waste into energy by employing greener technologies should be implemented. Howbeit, the prolegomenon of plastic waste to energy innovation is usually jeopardized by recurrent deterrents like operation costs, fund investments, environmental laws, etc. In this contrivance, assessment and fate of plastic waste to energy has been addressed to harmonize the nuisance originated by prevailing plastic wastes. The design and fabrication of technology implemented to transform plastic waste into energy have been inscribed by demarcating challenges and hindrances with their life cycle assessment process. Novel integrated energy plants employing renewable sources such as solar cells for revamping plastic trash are discussed aiming to motivate communities to recycle and reuse the waste in a sustainable way. Circuit based simulation model proffers an estimation of the electrical behaviour of renewable energy integrated systems with respect to alterations in environmental parameters including temperature and irradiation. This robust overview also unfurls the bottlenecks in the valorization of plastic waste into energy with bestowing potential panacea towards a better sustainable society.
