Summary

This review examines co-pyrolysis processes that convert mixtures of plastic waste and solid biomass into fuels and chemical products. Co-pyrolysis offers a way to valorize plastic waste that would otherwise break down into microplastics in the environment, while also producing usable energy.

Modern lives have resulted in a substantial rise in the volume of plastic waste in recent years. Throughout, there is a lot of solid biomass that can be used as energy. By co-pyrolysis, these waste plastic and solid biomass feedstock mixes can be transformed to produce synergistic fuels and value-added products. To promote environmentally appropriate pathways for waste management and sustainability, the manufactured products can be used as chemicals and pollutant sorbents. This review's main focus is on the advancement of this method of waste disposal and energy production. The difficulties and potential benefits of developing combinations of solid organic waste and plastic feedstock for co-pyrolysis are also covered. With the introduction of waste biomass for improved synergistic effects in waste disposal as well as the recovery of energy and value-added products, the objective was to provide attractive practicable pathways for clean and efficient disposal of plastic wastes.
