Waste Management is a very important problem for the whole world. Plastic waste management is a major problem for today’s generation. if we ignore this then in future the world would be covered with plastics and in India, the fuel rate is kept on increasing nowadays so our project deals with both and give an alternate solution .as we have the process of converting light plastics into fuel. Because hard plastics can be recycled to other products whereas light plastics are a huge problem s it cannot be recycled or reused by us. so, we are going to convert light plastics into fuel. and many had worked in this and also had succeeded but they use fossil fuels in the conversion process which is using fossil fuel and getting fossil fuel which is a non-profitable method. the plastics can be converted to fuel by heating the plastics at 380 to 400-degree Celsius not burning them as it creates harmful gases. and we have to heat it with the absence of oxygen because in the presence of oxygen it catches fire. For heating we are going to use parabolic monocrystalline solar panels with concentrators.
