Summary

This review examines how waste plastics can be transformed into activated carbon through chemical activation and carbonization processes. Researchers analyzed various methods for converting different plastic types into porous carbon materials with practical applications. The findings suggest that turning plastic waste into activated carbon offers a valuable alternative to traditional disposal methods.

This review analyzes plastic carbonization with respect to existing utilization methods and details its use for production of activated carbon.
