In recent years, the issue of plastic waste has gained widespread attention due to its detrimental impact on the environment. One common item contributing to this problem is shopping carts, which are often made of plastic materials that end up in landfills or oceans after being discarded. To address this issue, researchers have been exploring alternative methods to manage shopping cart waste, one of which is Pyrolysis. Pyrolysis is a thermal decomposition process that breaks down organic materials in the absence of oxygen, converting them into valuable end products such as bio-oil, biochar, and syngas. This process has shown promise in converting plastic waste, including shopping carts, into useful resources while minimizing environmental pollution. To further understand the potential benefits of pyrolysis in reducing shopping cart waste, a survey was conducted to gather insights from consumers and waste management experts. The survey aimed to assess the awareness of pyrolysis as a waste management technology and gather feedback on the feasibility of implementing pyrolysis for recycling shopping carts. Participants were asked a series of questions regarding their knowledge of pyrolysis, their perceptions of shopping cart waste, and their willingness to support sustainable initiatives like pyrolysis. The results of the survey revealed several key findings. Firstly, there was a notable lack of awareness among consumers regarding pyrolysis as a waste management solution. Many participants expressed surprise at the possibility of recycling shopping carts through pyrolysis and recognized the potential benefits of this technology in reducing plastic waste. Secondly, waste management experts highlighted the technical feasibility of implementing pyrolysis for shopping cart recycling. They emphasized the importance of investing in infrastructure and raising public awareness to support the widespread adoption of pyrolysis as a sustainable waste management practice. Overall, the survey contribution shed light on the potential of pyrolysis in addressing the challenges of shopping cart waste and promoting a circular economy. By converting discarded shopping carts into valuable resources through pyrolysis, we can not only reduce plastic pollution but also create new economic opportunities in the renewable energy sector. As we continue to explore innovative solutions for managing plastic waste, pyrolysis stands out as a promising technology that deserves further attention and support. With increased awareness and collaboration among stakeholders, we can work towards a more sustainable future where shopping cart waste is no longer seen as a problem but as a valuable resource waiting to be recycled through pyrolysis.
