Effective management of plastic wastes has been a long-standing problem faced by modern societies and a lack of proper management of waste plastic has resulted in a huge menace to mankind. In this work, plastic waste from municipality was sorted and subjected to pyrolysis in the presence of bentonite and silica, at a temperature of 330 °C, using a custom-designed pyrolysis and condenser unit. The emergent vapor from the pyrolysis unit, after passing through the condenser was collected to get the fuel oil, which was characterized using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. 1.5 l of fuel oil was obtained using 3 kg of sorted plastic waste. Performance of the obtained fuel oil as an alternative fuel was demonstrated by producing electricity using a diesel AC Generator of 7.5 KVA, using a fuel mixture containing 25% of obtained fuel oil and 75% commercial diesel, loaded for 0.5 h.
