There are many waste plastics generated each year in the world. The recovery of waste plastic is an important topic to improve the efficiency of using raw materials, in particularly, producing high-value products. Thermo-chemical conversion technology have been investigated for waste plastic recycling for many years, however, the whole process development is challenged by its low profit from selling the syngas or oil product. Producing carbon nanotubes, a high value product, from the thermo-chemical processing of waste plastics will add significant value in addition to the syngas/oil products. This report focuses on the development of Ni- and Fe- based catalysts for CNTs produced from waste plastics and the application of the prepared carbon nanotubes. For example, carbon nanotubes produced from waste plastics were recovered from the catalyst and added at 2 wt.% to LDPE plastic to form a composite material. The tensile and flexural strength and the tensile and flexural modulus of the CNT composite material were significantly improved by the addition of the recovered CNTs.
