Plastics pollution is causing an environmental crisis, prompting the development of new
approaches for recycling, and upcycling. Here, we review challenges and opportunities in …

Discarded plastics can be converted to various fuels and chemicals to generate positive
economic value instead of polluting the environment. In the past few years, pyrolysis has …

Today, discarded plastics in nature have caused serious “white pollution”, however these
plastic wastes contain abundant carbon resources that could serve as the feedstock to …

Less than 10% of the plastics generated globally are recycled, while the rest are incinerated,
accumulated in landfills, or leak into the environment. New technologies are emerging to …

Chemical recycling of solid plastic waste (SPW) is a paramount opportunity to reduce marine
and land pollution and to enable the incorporation of the circular economy principle in …

Increasing the stream of recycled plastic necessitates an approach beyond the traditional
recycling via melting and re‐extrusion. Various chemical recycling processes have great …

Plastics are key components of almost any technology today. Although their production
consumes substantial feedstock resources, plastics are largely disposed of after their service …

With the continuous increase of plastic wastes and the decrease of fossil energy, pyrolysis
has emerged as a promising technology for the valorization of plastic wastes to produce …

Combustion is a reactive oxidation process that releases energy bound in chemical
compounds used as fuels─ energy that is needed for power generation, transportation …

Single-use plastics impose an enormous environmental threat, but their recycling, especially
of polyolefins, has been proven challenging. We report a direct method to selectively convert …
