The linear production and consumption of plastics today is unsustainable. It creates large
amounts of unnecessary and mismanaged waste, pollution and carbon dioxide emissions …

Less than 10% of plastics are recycled worldwide, among which polyolefins, which form two-
thirds of all produced polymers, are the most discarded ones. This stems from the nonpolar …

Closed-loop chemical recycling provides a solution to the end-of-use problem of synthetic
polymers. However, it remains a major challenge to design dynamic bonds, capable of …

Our society is pursuing chemically recyclable polymers to accelerate the green revolution in
plastics. Here, we develop a recyclable polyester library from the alternating …

Chemically recyclable, circular polymers continue to attract increasing attention, but
rendering both catalysts for depolymerization and high‐performance polymers recyclable is …
