Plastic waste represents an environmental threat and a huge economic loss. Catalytic
hydroconversion of plastic wastes can enable valorization of plastic wastes to diverse value …

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

The widespread use of polyolefin plastics in modern societies generates huge amounts of
plastic waste. With a view toward sustainability, researchers are now seeking novel and low …

Catalytic hydrogenolysis of polyolefins into valuable liquid, oil, or wax-like hydrocarbon
chains for second-life applications is typically accompanied by the hydrogen-wasting co …

In this study we compare techno-economics and life cycle assessment of thermochemical
depolymerization technologies, including pyrolysis, gasification, hydrocracking …

Polyolefins and especially polyethylenes (LLDPE, LDPE and HDPE) and polypropylene
(PP) contribute a great deal to the growing amounts of plastic waste with a combined …

Polyolefins (POs, ie, polyethylenes, ethylene/α-olefin copolymers, and polypropylenes) are
the most ubiquitous synthetic macromolecular materials in modern life. Their widespread …

Earth-abundant metals have recently been demonstrated as cheap catalyst alternatives to
scarce noble metals for polyethylene hydrogenolysis. However, high methane selectivities …

Hydrogenolysis is an effective method for converting polyolefins into high‐value chemicals.
For the supported catalysts commonly used, the size of active metals is of great importance …

The huge scale of plastic waste generation and its environmental consequences drive the
demands for catalytic plastic upcycling processes. Here, we report efficient polypropylene …
