The plastic waste coming from our way of living, originate a very serious environmental problem, due to the enormous quantities and the lack of solution to the problem of its final disposal. The present research consists of developing an industrial technology in the chemical technology laboratory of the chemical engineering faculty of the U.N.C.P. to obtain a liquid fuel from plastic waste in the city of Huancayo. For this purpose, plastic waste must be transformed into liquid fuels, taking into account the composition of the raw material and determining the physical and chemical parameters for this conversion. The experiments were carried out by modifying the temperature and reaction time in the reactor. When the pyrolysis temperature was raised beyond 400o C, the carbon chains decomposed into fractions where the typical hydrocarbons that make up fossil fuels are not identified
