The large production volumes of commodity polyolefins (specifically, polyethylene,
polypropylene, polystyrene, and poly (vinyl chloride)), in conjunction with their low unit …

The increasing accumulation of plastic waste, particularly polyvinyl chloride (PVC) plastics
containing halogens, has led to severe environmental issues. To achieve environmentally …

Upgrading the most difficult-to-recycle waste polyvinyl chloride remains a significant
challenge due to the potential formation of highly toxic substances, such as polychlorinated …

Abstract Amid the ongoing Global Plastics Treaty, high-quality circulation of halogen-
containing plastics in an environmentally sound manner is a globally pressing issue. Current …

Valorization of waste polymers constitutes an attractive solution for alleviating relevant
environmental pollution. Among various strategies for polymer upcycling, photocatalysis has …

Poly (vinyl chloride)(PVC) and polystyrene (PS) are among the least recycled plastics. In this
work, we developed a simple and novel strategy to valorize PVC and PS plastics via …

Functionalizing conventional polyvinyl chloride (PVC) into leach-resistant PVC with a well-
defined structure is challenging owing to uncontrollable side reactions such as elimination …

Chlorinated polymers have made enormous contributions to materials science and are
commercially produced on a large scale. These chlorinated polymers could be recycled as …

A series of Fe–Ba mixed oxides, including a pure Fe-containing sample as a reference, have
been synthesized via a sol–gel process using Fe3+ or Fe2+ salts and BaSO4 as raw …

Polyolefin plastics account for~ 60% of global plastic waste, and thus depolymerizing large
quantities of waste polyolefin plastics into olefin monomers is attractive for both recycling …
