Plastic waste poses a significant challenge in Africa and around the world, with its volume continuing to increase at an alarming rate. In Africa, estimated 25–33% of daily is made up plastic, posing threat environment, marine life, human health. One potential solution this problem waste-to-energy recycling, such as pyrolysis, which involves conversion materials into oil, char, non-condensable gasses through thermochemical process absence oxygen. Given abundance continent’s energy challenges, pyrolysis offers sustainable solution. This review delves concept products, thermodynamics, endothermic kinetics, presenting it promising way address plastic Africa. Despite African Union’s goal recycle waste, continent faces barriers achieving target, including infrastructural, economic, social difficulties. It crucial implement strategies for managing mitigate environmental degradation promote cleaner healthier living environment. Pyrolysis technology highlighted viable management, can convert valuable byproducts syngas. Case studies from countries like South Nigeria demonstrate scaling management issues while generating job opportunities. underscores need investment, regulatory support, public awareness overcome challenges unlock full Embracing method could lead economic benefits continent.

This study introduces a novel approach to plastic waste management and energy recovery by synthesizing highly porous activated carbon from an often-overlooked resource, cotton fabric (WCF), using H3PO4 as activating agent. The synthesized samples (WCF-AC) were utilized solid acid catalyst in the catalytic pyrolysis of low-density polyethylene (LDPE), with aim converting LDPE into fuel-range hydrocarbons. research highlights potential bio-based materials synthesis eco-friendly cost-effective catalysts for feedstock recycling. impact impregnation ratio carbonization/activation temperature on physicochemical properties resulting WCF-AC was investigated, providing valuable insights optimization production. activity evaluated, demonstrating reduction 12°C degradation temperature. Furthermore, this work revealed substantial increase formation carbocyclic compounds, light aromatics such benzene, toluene, xylene constituting up 43 % output. In certain instances, decrease heavier hydrocarbons beyond C11 observed, indicating selective yield specific range underscores catalysts, presented here, adopted aligns principles circular economy, promoting resource efficiency sustainability.
