This document outlines an experimental study on recycling plastic waste through pyrolysis. It discusses sources of plastic waste, different recycling methods, and the hydrocarbon cracking mechanism involved in pyrolysis. Thermogravimetric analysis was conducted on polyethylene and polypropylene samples at various heating rates and temperatures to analyze degradation. Pyrolysis experiments were carried out in a reactor, and the liquid products were analyzed through aniline point and ASTM distillation tests. The results show that pyrolysis can produce useful gaseous, liquid and solid products from plastic waste and help address environmental issues.
