Abstract Plastic products bring convenience to various aspects of the daily lives due their lightweight, durability and versatility, but massive accumulation post‐consumer plastic waste is posing significant environmental challenges. Catalytic methods can effectively convert into value‐added feedstocks, with catalysts playing an important role in regulating yield selectivity products. This review explores latest advancements advanced applied thermal catalysis, microwave‐assisted photocatalysis, electrocatalysis, enzymatic catalysis reaction systems for chemical recycling valuable feedstocks. Specifically, pathways mechanisms involved plastics process are analyzed presented, strengths weaknesses employed across different described. In addition, structure‐function relationship these discussed. Herein, it provided insights design novel outline challenges future opportunities terms developing tackle “white pollution” crisis.
