Abstract:
This study looks into a cutting-edge method for converting polyester waste of garments industry into useful fuel and gas resources, offering a sustainable solution for effective waste management and resource recovery. The research investigates the application of novel thermal and chemical process to effectively decompose polyester waste generated from different section of garments industry and extract energy-rich compounds that can be transformed into usable fuel and gas. Through comprehensive experimentation and analysis, this research demonstrates the viability and environmental benefits of this conversion method, presenting a promising avenue for reducing textile waste and producing alternative energy sources. Converted Gas from Waste Polyester demonstrates a moderate energy content, often ranging from 30 to 40 MJ/m³.Converted Fuel from Waste Polyester (Bio-oil) demonstrates an energy content ranging from 35 to 45 MJ/kg based on the specific composition obtained through pyrolysis.If Bangladesh were to implement efficient conversion processes for its waste polyester garments, it might contribute to reducing greenhouse gas emissions by an estimated range of 10,000 to 20,000 tons of CO2 equivalent annually, considering the volume of polyester waste generated in the country.
