Abstract
Global plastic production has increased over the years due to the large number of plastic applications in many sectors. Continuous demand from plastics causes the accumulation of plastic waste in landfills to spend a lot of space contributing to environmental problems. Increased demand for plastics causes the release of petroleum as part of fossil fuels that are not renewable because plastics are petroleum-based materials. Therefore, in this study conducted a study of pyrolysis products from PET plastic waste materials using natural catalyst Klaten, Central Java, Indonesia. The result of pyrolysis process shows that PET plastic waste at 350ºC produces 160 ml. The highest catalyst alloy at highest temperature is 350ºC as much as 150 ml. PET plastic waste produces higher value product then plastic waste can be used as fuel alternative.
