Development And Analysis of Pyrolysis as A Sustainable Solution for Plastic Waste Reduction

Abstract

This paper aims to conduct a study on developing a pyrolysis machine to reduce plastic waste. It is a suggested approach to deal with the increasing amount of plastic waste, to avoid its buildup in landfills and even depletion of resources. There are several ways to address this continuous growth of plastic waste, and in this study, the researchers focus on the development and fabrication of machines to convert plastic into oil as an effort of recycling waste by means of pyrolysis. The Plastic wastes are subjected to depolymerization and fractional distillation to obtain fuels like diesel when further refined. Polypropylene (PP) plastic is utilized in this project to undergo a pyrolysis process to get fuel oil that has comparable physical properties to petroleum, diesel, and so on. Converting this type of waste into fuel holds great promise for the environment.
