Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, which emerged from a virus in Wuhan, China, a large amount of plastic medical waste was produced in the form of polypropylene-based personal protective equipment (PPE). Given its demand and limited reusability, it was crucial that a safe and sustainable disposing method was developed—in case of a similar, future event; hence the study of pyrolysis as a disposing means where plastic medical waste is turned into renewable energy, with low carbon emissions. This method would allow for the recovery of valuable resources via thermal decomposition of plastic waste into char with multiple applications. Here we reported two main studies by our research group on valorizing the PPE waste with the objective of investigating the alternative of dumping the COVID-19-related medical waste in landfill and incineration approach. Two case studies here aim to discuss (i) the toxicity of PPE waste char-based composite fuel briquettes, and (ii) the fabrication of biopolymer composites filled with PPE waste as scissor handle via analytical hierarchy process (AHP) method. The information provided in these studies is crucial for waste management and valorization.
