Severe acute respiratory syndrome-corona virus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) responsible for causing Covid-19 has taken millions of life. Globally, combating COVID-19 pandemic is the primary aim of all the researchers working in any field of study viz. pharmaceutical, chemistry, physics, economics etc. One of the warrior against Covid-19 is Personal Protection Equipment (PPE), which is an indispensable requirement for healthcare workers and others working closely with Covid-19 patients. The kits are providing protection from direct infection. They are made of different types of plastics and their disposal is going to be a serious menace, if not taken care of properly. The disposal of PPE is being done as per the guidelines provided by World Health Organization. However, the final fate of polymer is yet to be decided. This study is critical suggestive approach to value add the disposed PPE kits by converting them to bio-oil. In addition to environmental advantages, it could also minimize the dependency on non-renewable fossil fuels.
