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.
