Harnessing Plastic Depolymerization Products to Upcycle Mixed Waste Into High-Value Chemicals: Article No. 102485

Research output: Contribution to journal › Article › peer-review

Abstract

Plastic pollution is a pressing challenge, such that traditional recycling struggles to handle mixed waste. In the March issue of Chem Catalysis, Li et al. introduce a process that co-upcycles two societally important plastics, polyethylene terephthalate (PET) and polyoxymethylene (POM), offering a solution for more complex waste streams.
