Initially, landfill is one of the rubbers and plastic waste disposal methods commonly used all the time but now, it is not preferred as it will take up to 450 years for plastic to break down, and rubber will take a much longer time. So, a landfill is not the best method for the disposal of plastic and rubber waste.
The rubber and plastic waste is converted into fuel oil through pyrolysis and it has become the best method to dispose of rubber and waste plastic.
Note:
Pyrolysis is the thermal decomposition of biomass that takes place in the absence of oxygen with temperature ranges from 350 to 550 °C that could reach up to 700 °C. This process decomposes organic materials into solid, liquid, and gas mixtures.
