There is many more ways to arrange plastic waste, We know the 3R's, Reduce, Reuse and Recycle, but what if we can't recycle some types of plastic..?
Plastic which are not recyclable we can use it as a fuel by the process called pyrolysis. We may think that how plastic can be converted into fuel ?! But if we look over the process how plastic is made then we can understand that plastic is already a solid form of fuel..
Let's take a look on the process of crude oil distillation,

As we can see in crude oil distillation at different temperature there is various hydrocarbons are separated and NAPHTHA is lighter compare to others so it will separated at top. After separation it is spitted into lighter hydrocarbons like methane ethane and others. By polymerization of this lighter hydrocarbons (also called major ingredients ) plastic is created in different forms and types.
Now after usage of this plastic we can again convert it into fuel by the process pyrolysis as said earlier.

After making small pieces of plastic waste it is send for making dense and then it sends to chamber for heating (upto 800 c) with catalyst mixed. In a chamber it liquifies due to high temperature and emits fuel gas which can condensed and used as a liquid fuel.!!
So we doesn't have any limitations about managing plastic waste..
