Abstract: Four paths for producing fuels from waste plastics are reviewed：pyrolysis，catalytic cracking，pyrolysis-catalytic transformation，and catalytic cracking-catalytic transformation. Their advantages and disadvantages are also discussed and compared. The catalyst technology is considered as the critical issue restraining the development of this domain. In this paper，the progress of the species of the catalysts used in the catalytic processes are summarized. It would make some suggestion for further research and development of catalyst for manufacturing fuels from waste plastics.

摘要： 介绍了废塑料裂解制燃料的4种方式：热裂解、催化裂解、热解-催化改质和催化热解-催化改质，分析比较了它们各自的优缺点，认为催化技术是制约该领域发展的关键因素。重点阐述了废塑料裂解催化剂和裂解产物改质催化剂在国内外的一些研究进展，对进一步研究和开发废塑料裂解制燃料催化剂提出了一些建议。
