Garbage is one of the wastes from human activities, which can have a negative impact on humans and the environment. Based on data from the Ministry of Industry regarding imports of plastic products, it can be predicted that the amount of waste that will arise. Imports of Poly Ethylene Terephthalate (PET) and Poly Propylene (PP) products continued to increase in line with the growth in chemical consumption. One alternative is converting plastic waste into fuel oil. Becausebasically plastic comes from petroleum, so it just needs to be returned to its original shape. Pyrolysis or devolatilization is a process of fractionating materials by temperature. Pyrolysis is the process of decomposing a material at high temperatures inthe absence of air or with limited air. Oil from used plastic has unsaturated properties. This means that the ratio between carbon and hydrogen is not balanced so that there are links that are not filled. This pyrolysis oil is flammable, emits soot, and has a stimulating odor. This pyrolysis oil can be processed again so that it has saturated and stable properties. It is hoped that processing plastic into oil can provide an alternative solution to the plastic waste problem and can also provide alternative fuel solutions that can be used in society. The general objective of this study was to determine the quality of fuel oil from household plastic waste using the pyrolysis method. Thepopulation that will be studied in this study is plastic waste obtained from residents in the settlement of RW 03 Petir Village, Cipondoh, Tangerang, Banten. The sample to be examined in this study was used plastic waste with 2 kg of each type of plasticwaste. The results of identifying the types of plastic waste found that thegeneration of plastic waste generated in RW 03 was 101.75 kg with the highest proportion being PET waste (70.33%) and the lowest being the Other category. Testing of the tool was carried out based on the design results, namely a simple household-scale pyrolysis tool that can be used to process Poly Ethylene Terephthalate plastic waste. Trials were carried out twice on 1 kg of plastic waste type Poly Ethylene Terephthalate, which produced oil as fuel. There are still many shortcomings in the tools that are made including the tool is still not ergonomic, there is no high voltage indicator tool and the tool is not portable so it is still difficult to move.Keywords:Plastic waste, household, pyrolysis, fuel oilA R T I C L E I N F O:Received 11 Jan.2023;ReviewComplete17 March2023;Accepted11 May2023;Availableonline15 June 2023Cite this article as:Puspawati C, Andayani F, Maharani Z,Processing Household Plastic Waste with the Pyrolysis Method into Fuel Oil in RW 03 Petir Village, Cipondoh, Tangerang,AsianJournal of Pharmaceutical Research and Development. 2023; 11(3):17-21.DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.22270/ajprd.v11i3.1221*Address for Correspondence: Catur Puspawati, Health Polytechnic of Jakarta II, IndonesiaINTRODUCTIONublic awareness in Indonesia to recycle waste is still relatively low. Based on the 2018 Indonesia Environment statistics released by the Central Bureau of Statistics (BPS), only 1.2% of households recycle their waste. Approximately 66.8% of households handle waste by burning it. In fact, the smoke generated from combustion can cause air pollution and interfere with health. As many as 32% of households choose other ways to handle their waste.1–3Garbage is a source of disease. Directly/openly waste is a nesting place for diseases, bacteria and pathogens. Indirectly, garbage is a place for vectors that can cause diseases such as diarrhea, dysentery, worms and dengue fever.4–6The increase in the use of plastic for household purposes has an impact on increasing plastic waste piles. It cannot be treated using the landfill or open dumping method, plastic waste will have a negative impact on the environment because it cannot decompose quickly and its accumulation can reduce the quality of soil fertility.Plastic waste that is disposed of carelessly can also clog drainage canals and rivers, causing flooding. Destroying plastic waste by incineration is less effective and risks the appearance of pollutants from exhaust gas emissions (C02, CO, NOx, and P
