Lahore: (RightNow) Innovative technology has paved the way for producing affordable petrol and diesel from plastic waste in Pakistan. This technology effectively utilizes plastic waste.
Every year, millions of tons of polyethylene plastic waste are generated in Pakistan. This waste is scattered across streets and roads. A new method has emerged to effectively dispose of this waste.
Experts from the U.S. research institution Oak Ridge National Laboratory have discovered that by mixing aluminum chloride molten salts with plastic waste and heating it to 200 degrees Celsius, 60% of it can be converted into petrol or diesel.
This method is simple and effective, offering Pakistan two major benefits. It eliminates harmful plastic waste and provides a cost-effective way to produce petrol and diesel.
