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 …

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

Mixed plastics waste represents an abundant and largely untapped feedstock for the
production of valuable products. The chemical diversity and complexity of these materials …

Over 400 million metric tons of plastic waste are generated globally each year, resulting in
pollution and lost resources. Recycling strategies can recapture this wasted material, but …

The rapid growth of plastics production exacerbated the triple planetary crisis of habitat loss,
plastic pollution and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Circular strategies have been …

Plastic waste triggers a series of concerns because of its disruptive impact on the
environment and ecosystem. From the point of view of catalysis, however, end-of-life plastics …

Polymer-based product usage rapidly increases globally, leading to severe ecological,
social, environmental, health, and economic impacts. There has been an international push …

Hydrogenolysis of C–C bonds over Ru-based catalysts has emerged as a deconstruction
strategy to convert single-use polyolefin waste to liquid alkanes at relatively mild conditions …

To develop viable solutions for reducing plastic waste, spatially explicit data on the
management of these materials are critical. Here we employ statistical and geospatial …

The development of technologies to recycle polyethylene (PE) and polypropylene (PP),
globally the two most produced polymers, is critical to increase plastic circularity. Here, we …
