Processing & Recycling of Polymer Plastic for Environment Applications

Polymers, plastics and its composites have been found new applications in almost every industrial sector, which has led to the annual plastic consumption to be 380 million tones globally. The mismanagement of end use plastic generated as a waste i.e., e-waste, municipal, industrial, pharmaceutical, agricultural waste and many more. The mentioned wastages are threat to our ecosystem such as marine life, human being and wild animals. The recycling or management of various plastic waste materials is a big challenge for today era. Waste involving nanomaterials have been a sobersided issue. The small size appearance of nanomaterials paves a way for environmental pollution and hazard through various means like airborne spreading. We need to develop the recycling techniques must be affordable and will follow the environment regulations. Converting plastic waste into fuel is a sustainable approach to solving many global problems simultaneously and benefiting economically. Pyrolysis is one of the promising technique for the waste management to the fuel.
