Plastic pollution has emerged as a global environmental crisis, prompting the search for innovative solutions to manage and repurpose plastic waste sustainably. Chemical recycling garnered attention promising strategy address this challenge by converting discarded plastics into valuable feedstocks products. Drawing upon statistical data thorough review of literature, paper examines diverse methodologies technologies employed in chemical recycling, highlighting key advancements their potential economic impacts. The aim article is provide comprehensive overview various methods plastics. In article, reader offered detailed processing methods, including hydrolysis, glycolysis, enzymatic degradation, acid supercritical fluid depolymerisation, catalytic pyrolysis, fast microwave fluidised bed plasma gasification, steam oxidative hydrothermal liquefaction, biological electrochemical processing. literature cited allows gain an in-depth understanding processes at Technology Readiness Levels (TRL) 4 TRL 9, depending on chosen technology.
