2. Raw materials used for manufacturing of
components of PPE
Component of PPE Raw material used
N95 respirators Polypropylene
Powered Air Purifying
Respirators
Rubber or silicone
Face shields Polycarbonate, Propionate, Acetate,
Polyvinyl chloride, and Polyethylene
terephthalate glycol
Normal surgical masks Polypropylene
Goggles High quality polycarbonates
Single use protective gowns Normally polypropylene
Coveralls High density polyethylene

3. Structure of polypropylene

4. Why we will recycle these used
PPE kits ?

5. Steps of pyrolysis

6. Pyrolysis product
Bio-crude oil / Pyrolysis oil

7. Advantages of Pyrolysis oil
 Easy to store & transport
 Doesn’t interfere with the food
chain
 Is a greenhouse gas neutral
biofuel
 Non acidic & non-corrosive

8. Conclusion
 The pyrolysis experimental investigation of
PPE plastics wastes converted more than
75% of waste to bio-crude oil (tar).
 The reprocessing of PPE to value-added
products along with proper handling eases
disposal problems and provides energy
sources at the same time.
