The use of plastic in various activities of our daily life has become inevitable in today’s world. It is used in different forms like plastic bottles used for soft-drinks, sachets for shampoos, pastes, etc., packaging wraps, styrofoam as a protective layer in packaging, carry-bags and so on. Each of these items is made of a different kind of plastic like polyethylene (PE), polypropylene (PP), polyethylene terephthalate (PET), polystyrene (PS), etc. After utilisation, some of these plastics like PET have a good value in the recycle market and are hence, recycled and re-used. However, there are some items like carry-bags, styrofoam cups, sachets, etc. which don’t have a recycle value – but safe disposal of these is a necessity. This is even more important keeping in view the fact that municipal solid waste (MSW) has approximately upto 20 per cent of such mixed plastic waste. The idea of this project is to convert such mixed plastic (predominantly PE, PP and PS) waste into fuel oil through pyrolysis. It offers the advantages of converting a waste stream into a source of energy, reducing the amount of waste going to landfills, and creating value for a stream that is otherwise considered as a waste. The project aims to use available catalysts in the market for the pyrolysis process and make this technology more accessible to everyone.
