Abstract: 
In the present study different plastic waste materials with various types of plastics such as low-density polyethylene and polypropylene with zinc oxide catalyst have been pyrolyzed in batch tubular reactor. Waste plastics were characterized by using TGA and DTG analysis and FTIR spectroscopy. The pyrolyzed products are analyzed by standard methods to determine various parameters.
