The rapid accumulation of plastic waste has led to a severe environmental crisis and a
noticeable imbalance between manufacturing and recycling. Fortunately, chemical …

Abstract Naphtha (C 5-C 12 alkanes) is a platform feedstock in the petroleum industry and
an ideal target for reutilizing plastic waste at scale. Hydrocracking has emerged as a …

Pyrolytic and light-activated oxidation processes are leading technologies for utilizing
polystyrene (PS) wastes. These approaches exhibit poor selectivities, use complex reactors …

Mechanical recycling of plastic waste is not sustainable and inefficient in terms of the
resources needed to accomplish the process, and the quality of the materials obtained from …

Polyolefins can be converted into C2–C5 hydrocarbons and benzene–toluene–xylene (BTX)
aromatics as high-demand petrochemical feedstocks via catalytic pyrolysis on acidic …

As global energy demands escalate alongside environmental concerns from fossil fuel
reliance, the urgent quest for sustainable energy solutions has intensified. Electrochemical …

Upcycling polyolefins into value-added hydrocarbons via catalytic hydrogenolysis is
challenging due to poor product selectivity, random C–C bond cleavage, and the formation …

Furfural is an important platform chemical for producing value-added biobased molecules
and materials as alternatives to fossil-derived chemical building blocks. Furfuryl alcohol …

Heterogeneous supported metal catalysts have played a pivotal role in modern industrial
initiatives dedicated to the chemical upcycling of end-of-life plastics. Leveraging the …
