Resumen

The present rate of economic growth is unsustainable without saving of fossil energy like crude oil, natural gas or coal. Plastics have become an integral part of our daily lives which causes hazardous impact on wildlife and human populations. About 380 million tons of plastic is produced worldwide. The conversion of waste plastic into fuel decreases a huge environmental and economic issues. Pyrolysis process becomes an option of waste energy technology to deliver fuel in order to replace fossil fuel. One of the main advantage of pyrolysis process is its ability to handle the unsorted and dirty plastic. This review focuses on producing pyrolyzed oil from waste plastic termed as plastic pyrolyzed oil which can be marketed at cheaper rates compared to that present in market like diesel.
