Abstract: The thermal decomposition kinetics of waste plastics through thermogravimetry with temperature programmed heating in Ar atmosphere was reported. Based on the experimental results, the kinetics parameters of some waste plastics were calculated. The results show that apparent active energies of selecting plastics are between 100.72~225.89 kJ/mol.
