Abstract: This paper deals with the pyrolysis conversion of synthetic waste materials into noble fuels, i.e., heating oils, gasoline, diesel, and carbon. The following article presents the principle and use of pyrolysis conversion of waste tires and plastics. The core of the paper is the determination of energy properties of noble fuels obtained from pyrolysis conversion and the possibility of their real use in industry. The aim of this paper is a technical-economic evaluation of the use of waste pyrolysis in practice in the Slovak Republic. Unlike various methods of waste management, there are also more efficient methods, which primarily have a positive effect on the ecology of our Earth and at the same time can be effectively used for the production of alternative fuels. One of these methods is the pyrolysis conversion of synthetic waste materials into noble fuels. It is an ecological, waste-free, economical, and economical disposal of waste with a full recovery of its energy and material components with reduced emissions, and therefore this direction of using synthetic waste for the conversion of alternative fuels contributes to sustainable development. A significant advantage of this waste management is considered to be the fact that only waste tires or chlorine-free plastics are used as input materials without other necessary raw materials obtained by other economic activity. Tires and plastics are generated daily as waste in every household.
