Sustainable energy generation from plastic waste: An in-depth review of diesel engine application

Plastic consumption has increased significantly over the previous few decades and it is one of the most significant sources of waste in many countries. Recycling and energy recovery methods are just two methods for dealing with plastic waste. As a result, the process of converting waste plastic into...
