Propane Gas and Fuel From Plastic Waste Material

P.Satheeshkumar

Disposal of plastic waste especially poly propane plays a major role in our environment. plastics have woven their way into our daily lives and now pose a tremendous threat to the environment. Over a 10 million tone of plastics bottles (poly propane) are produced annually worldwide, and the used products have become a common feature at overflowing bins and landfills. Though work has been done to make futuristic biodegradable plastics, there have not been many conclusive steps towards cleaning up the existing problem. Here, the process of converting waste plastic bottles into value added gas is explained as a viable solution for recycling of plastics(PP). Thus two universal problems such as problems of waste plastic and problems of gas shortage are being tackled simultaneously. The waste plastics are subjected to pyrolysis to obtain value added propane gas. Converting waste plastic(PP) into gas hold great promise for both the environmental and economic scenarios. Thus, the process of converting plastics to gas has now turned the problems into an opportunity to make wealth from waste.
