CHAPTER 1 THE PROBLEM

Background:

One of the common problems that humanity is facing is the management of waste. Most of the solid wastes found in dumpsites are plastics. These plastics are in the form of plastic bags and bottles: HDPE, LDPE, and PET

Aside from the problem on wastes, the demand, consumption, and price of petroleum fuels are raising which rapidly depleting the natural reservoirs of fossil.

Based on these difficulties, the researcher formulated a study which can solves part of the problem. The study is built to liquefy the selected waste 4/17/12
