(2018) mixture of plastics i.e. polypropylene (PP) and polyethylene terephthalate (PET) for pyrolysis with catalyst in several operating temperature. According to their study, PET is problematic to be treated using pyrolysis due to wax-like by-product in liquid which may cause pipe clogging. The catalyst is the mixture of natural zeolite and bentonite which is able to handle PP and PET mixture feed to produce high grade liquid fuels in terms of calorific value and other fuel properties.

CONCLUSION Incineration could recover energy from plastic waste by producing high pressure and temperature steam for power generation via steam turbine generator.

Thus, nowadays, pyrolysis technology gained a lot of attentions since it could convert plastic waste into oil that could be used as crude oil for further upgrading, distillation, or directly utilized with other conventional fossil futechnology is adaptable at a community scale and requires significantly lower amount of budget compared to the incineration.
