Review Upcycling of Waste Plastics into Value-Added Chemicals Jin Xu and Jing Zhang * State Key Laboratory Chemical Engineering, East China University Science Technology, 130 Meilong Road, Shanghai 200237, Correspondence: [email protected] Received: 8 November 2024; Revised: 22 January 2025; Accepted: 24 March Published: 27 2025 Abstract: The rapid increase in plastic production has led to a severe waste crisis, driving the development various recycling technologies mitigate this growing issue. However, these often encounter substantial economic environmental challenges their implementation. An increasingly attractive alternative is chemical upcycling, which can transform plastics value-added chemicals. This review systematically examines upcycling applicable major commercial plastics, including polyethylene terephthalate (PET), polyolefins, polystyrene (PS), polyvinyl chloride (PVC). We focus on key strategies such as solvolysis, catalytic pyrolysis, hydrocracking hydrogenolysis, along with some emerging approaches electrocatalysis photooxidation, aiming summarize trends plastics.
