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 …

As the world pledges to significantly cut carbon emissions, the demand for sustainable and
clean energy has now become more important than ever. This includes both production and …

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

Green carbon science is defined as the “study and optimization of the transformation of
carbon‐containing compounds and the relevant processes involved in the entire carbon …

The conversion of polyolefins to monomers would create a valuable carbon feedstock from
the largest fraction of waste plastic. However, breakdown of the main chains in these …

Originating from the desire to improve sustainability, producing fuels and chemicals from the
conversion of biomass and waste plastic has become an important research topic in the …

Controlled polymerization methods are well-established synthetic protocols for the design
and preparation of polymeric materials with a high degree of precision over molar mass and …

Selective upcycling of polyolefin waste has been hampered by the relatively high
temperatures that are required to cleave the carbon-carbon (C–C) bonds at reasonably high …

Plastics are indispensable, but their pollution is triggering a global environmental crisis.
Although many end-of-life catalytic options have involved converting plastics into valuable …
