Abstract- Generally all over the world, the usage of fossil fuels in the day to day life as liquid, gas and the solid have been highly increased. Nowadays the population is getting highly increased and at the same time, the usage of biomass is also increasing. Biomass is an alternate fuel from the starting era of biotic organism. The usage of plastic also increased. The disposal and recycling of plastic is facing a challenging task. The researchers are facing high tedious problem in destroying plastic. Since the decomposition of plastic is highly dangerous to the soil. Pyrolysis process is the most promising for the waste to useful form of energy conversion techniques. While destroying biomass and plastic, more carbon footprints are seen. End product of plastic and biomass pyrolysis has its own deficiency in its characterization. In order to overcome these drawbacks, biomass and plastic is combined together as mass quantity and undergoes pyrolysis process for finding the better result. The pyrolysis end product properties like ash content, moisture content, kinematic viscosity, density, flash point, fire point, cloud point, pour point, gross calorific value and specific gravity are determined.
