“…By adding a catalyst (ZSM-5) the efficiency of the pyrolysis process can be increased which resulted in better yields for gases (5.1% to 12.2%), gasoline (from 18.2% to 34.5%) and light oil (from 17.9% to 24.1%) [67]. These valuable products can be utilized as alternative fuels in automotive industry by adding a fine modification to the engine or other application that requires thermal energy (boilers, heaters) [30,68,69].…”

Most frecquent used methods for recycling and treating plastic waste, with their advantages and disadvantages were analysed and investigated. Plastic waste present a slow degradation rate in nature, almost one thousand years, therefore it is important to address this type of pollution, by finding the most sustainable methods in reducing the percentage of plastic that ends up in landfills or in the ocean. The negative impact of plastic waste include bioaccumulation in organisms by exposure to micro and nano plastics that end up in the environment from degrading macro plastics or directly from products that contain microplastic, like exfoliating personal care products.
