Abstract

The objective of this review paper is to focus few of the notable research that has been carried out to tackle the problems of disposal of plastic waste and its effective utilization into useful products. Due to less weight, low cost, non-corrosiveness of plastics have led to excessive usage and thus increasing its production resulting in the accumulation of waste plastic in the environment. The previous studies report several techniques to recycle and convert unwanted plastics into alternative fuels. This would be an added advantage to solve the problem of shortage of conventional fuel and thereby promote a sustainable environment. Nevertheless, further research is necessary to report some of the issues that have not yet been addressed.
