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 products, deep understanding of the relationship between polymer structure and recycling performance significant urgently needed. Here, we start with primer polymeric chain structures on chemical discuss structure–performance polymer, catalyst, reaction. Specifically, development challenges re/upcycling waste PET polyolefins discussed in-depth. In addition, also present some prospects for innovations in catalyst synthesis reaction engineering basis relationship. The discussion ends brief perspective future plastic re/upcycling. Overall, intelligent catalysis design necessary incentivizing relieving burden plastics.

It is difficult to reuse wastes from polymers due the mismatch between amount of contaminants and secondary quality feed. This type operation much more expensive cost-effective than production polymer raw materials latest materials. However, recyclable beneficial if used extensively in various concrete products wood-polymer boards. done only cleaning sorting are not particularly important for products. Polyethylene terephthalate (PET) a widely industries its excellent physical chemical properties. Besides, increasing use PET has led global crisis waste management, as improper disposal caused significant environmental damage. major source accumulated landfills, address this issue, recycling methods have evolved. In regard, present review examines techniques involved PET. Conventional influence diverse depolymerization reaction variables were discussed, upsides downsides each technique considered. The summarizes advances technologies plastic waste, focusing on bio-recycling PET, aiming sustainable, economical solutions circular economy.

Abstract Polyethylene terephthalate (PET) is used in textile and packaging industries. The main source of PET production fossil fuels with limited capacity. Also, products are single use that transform into high volumes wastes, causing ecosystem problems. Recycling proposed to confront this challenge. four major recycling techniques mechanical, chemical, pyrolysis, enzymatic. Mechanical, enzymatic have constrained capabilities manage waste. Chemical the potential path expanding waste possibility upcycling addressing dirty streams. Several chemical methods introduced discussed literature. five glycolysis, alcoholysis, aminolysis, ammonolysis, hydrolysis. This review describes depolymerization via these introduces hydrolysis as one can depolymerize an organic‐free solvent environment. Hydrolysis tolerates mixed wastes streams including copolymers. It helps avoid challenges attributed using organic solvents reaction systems. Moreover, produces terephthalic acid, monomer, which has recently gained attention initiative monomer for production. focuses on three forms hydrolysis—alkaline, neutral, by presenting background studies, issued patents, recent trends application

The growing amount of plastic waste endangers the environment. Polyethylene terephthalate (PET) is among most widespread plastics due to its extensive use in fibers and packaging. Recently, chemical recycling upcycling approaches have been proposed produce valuable products from bale PET feedstocks. This work performs techno-economic analysis life cycle assessment evaluate environmental economic performances various technologies, including electrification via microwaves over a heterogeneous catalyst. We demonstrate that using microwave-assisted glycolysis process bis(2-hydroxyethyl) (BHET) could lower production costs emissions than traditional dimethyl (DMT) route high reactivity excellent reusability fast reaction rate selectivity render this ideal for handling spatially distributed effectively.

The large production volumes of commodity polyolefins (specifically, polyethylene, polypropylene, polystyrene, and poly(vinyl chloride)), in conjunction with their low unit values multitude short-term uses, have resulted a significant pressing waste management challenge. Only small fraction these is currently mechanically recycled, the rest being incinerated, accumulating landfills, or leaking into natural environment. Since are energy-rich materials, there considerable interest recouping some chemical value while simultaneously motivating more responsible end-of-life management. An emerging strategy catalytic depolymerization, which portion C-C bonds polyolefin backbone broken assistance catalyst and, cases, additional molecule reagents. When products molecules materials higher own right, as feedstocks, process called upcycling. This review summarizes recent progress for four major upcycling strategies: hydrogenolysis, (hydro)cracking, tandem processes involving metathesis, selective oxidation. Key considerations include macromolecular reaction mechanisms relative to mechanisms, design transformations, effect conditions on product selectivity. Metrics describing critically evaluated, an outlook future advances described.
