This document discusses converting plastic waste into fuel through pyrolysis. It notes that large amounts of plastic waste are generated in India each year and end up polluting the environment. The document outlines the pyrolysis process, in which plastic is heated in the absence of oxygen to break it down into liquid fuel, non-condensable gas, and residue. It presents the results of an experiment converting 1.7 kg of plastic into 1.4 liters of liquid fuel. The fuel can be used as a substitute for furnace oil, coal, and wood. The goal of the Plastoleum Team is to make India a zero plastic waste country by 2030 through such pyrolysis processes.

There are 5.25 trillion pieces of plastic debris is in
the ocean.
1,00,000 marine creatures a year die from plastic
entanglement.
Approximately 1 million sea birds also die from
plastic.
A plastic bag can kill numerous animals because
they take so long to disintegrate. An animal that
dies from the bag will decompose and the bag will
be released, another animal could harmlessly fall
victim and once again eat the same bag.
5. 150 million tonnes of plastic is produced
worldwide per year.
India consumed 12.5 million tonnes plastic
products every year.
70% of total plastic consumption is discarded
as waste, thus approximately 8.5 million
tons per annum of plastic waste is
generated in country, which is about 15342
tons per day.
