Plastic Pyrolysis Transforms Plastic Waste To Reusable Petro Products

Though, the use of plastic bags and other low quality plastic utility products have been banned, one sees them everywhere. Plastic pyrolysis would be an ideal way to get rid of unwanted plastic.  This is a method of breaking up plastic without using O2.

This procedure helps to convert plastic scrap and discarded plastic material into sources of energy and other single molecule to make polymer compounds. The plastic material is incessantly processed in a pyrolysis plant and the gaseous emission is compressed and collected in exclusive containers. This extraction is a counterpart of the much needed petrol. In fact, this extract is better than the petrol available and is eco oriented.


Setting up a pyrolysis plant to alter plastic waste to improved green version petro products is a gift to mankind from science. 

The initial experimental small units have opened avenues for setting up a large industrial plastic pyrolysis plant. Since plastic waste is found all over the world, the scope for plastic pyrolysis industry is bright.


A wide range of products can be got from plastic pyrolysis. The products available are:

  • Lubricating gel.
  • Single chemical molecule to make other polymer products.
  • An acidic extract (terephthalic acid) used to make “PET” plastic items.
  • Methylmetacrylate” which is utilized for making synthetic fibre sheets.
  • The dark carbonous residue is used to make color stains and tyre.
