. This makes it possible
to increase the concentration of valuable products, such as CO,
for bioplastics production. In short, microwave pyrolysis offers an
excellent opportunity for diverting organic waste away from the
traditional disposal methods such as landfill and incineration and
the possibility of recovering commercially valuable products from
wastes. Besides, the use of microwave pyrolysis to produce syngas
on a large scale will probably contribute to a more environmentally
sustainable and energy-efficient process compared to conventional
heating processes, as has been demonstrated in a recent study in
which energy efficiency of microwave pyrolysis of wheat straw was
1.5 times higher than the energy efficiency achieved by a conventional
pyrolysis process [30]
