Indonesia unveils pyrolysis system to turn plastic waste into fuel

Indonesia announces a new pyrolysis technology aimed at converting plastic waste into usable fuel. The development targets the country's growing plastic pollution challenge. The process breaks down plastic polymers through heat in an oxygen‑free environment. Resulting hydrocarbons can be refined into liquid fuel for transport or industry. Officials highlight the potential to reduce landfill reliance and create energy assets. The technology is positioned as a step toward circular economy initiatives. Stakeholders anticipate pilot projects to assess commercial viability. Future monitoring will gauge environmental and economic impacts.
