The disposal of plastic waste is currently one of the major global issues affecting environmental balance and mankind. It is therefore crucial to turn waste plastic into value-added products. Thermochemical recycling techniques have been researched extensively to generate fuels, monomers, and other value-added products. It has been determined that pyrolysis is an effective method for chemical recycling. Plastic wastes are transformed into products including liquid oil, gas, and solid residues during the thermal breakdown. Low-quality liquid oil and gaseous products are also produced through thermal pyrolysis, which demands a long retention period and high temperature. Catalytic pyrolysis helps to deal with these problems. To obtain higher quantities of fuel in the form of liquid or gas, varieties of catalysts, such as natural zeolite, Y-zeolite, HZSM-5, ZSM-5, FCC, mud, Ca(OH)₂, Al₂O₃, and Fe₂O₃, are used. The …
