ABSTRACT
The study takes motivation from provincial and national issues regarding
waste management and electricity production in Canada. Most sources include
previous research relating pyrolysis’ applications in different parts of the
world. The research included 2-3 weeks of extensive reading of previous
research and understanding the theory relating polymers. Research has been
conducted to understand why polymers have the properties that they do. Thorough
analysis about the chemical reactions relating polymers on a small and large
scale is conducted. More research was conducted relating to socio-economic
conditions of Canada and Singapore for application purposes. Findings of the
research point to an addition the Canadian government can uphold i.e., build more plastic
pyrolysis plants in different regions for waste management. Our findings also
suggest that the short term spending on such projects can yield long term
benefits. This research is important because it will solve Canada’s non-recyclable waste
problems, it will help bring in a new source of electricity and it will help
increase the budget of municipalities in the long run. This paper is not just
informative on polymers, but also will help readers understand issues regarding
Canadian waste management and propose possible solutions.
