Abstract
COVID-19, a condition associated with severe acute coronavirus two respiratory syndromes (SARS-CoV-2), has impacted the lives of billions of people worldwide. Scientists around the world are trying to find ways to cure the disease in the vaccine strain. Out of all essential prerequisites for the health workers and doctors, Personal protect tion equipment (PPE) has acted as an essential part of the virus's protection purpose. While PPE kits are reported to provide adequate protection against pathogens, their removal can have a devastating impact on the environment. National authorities ensure the proper elimination of PPE following the guidelines provided by the WHO. The plethora of PPE kits will further boost the polymer load on our planet. This re- view represents a scheme for disposing of PPE kits by converting them into alternate fuel through solar thermal engineering.
