Mechanical recycling is one of the simplest and most economical strategies to address ever-increasing plastic pollution, but it cannot be applied immiscible mixed plastics suffers from property deterioration after each cycle. By combining amphiphilic block copolymer strategy reactive compatibilization strategy, we designed a series stapler for compatibilizing/upcycling plastics. First, various functionalized graft copolymers were accessed via different synthetic routes. Subsequently, addition very small amount molecules induced synergistic effect with that improved compatibility mechanical properties These highly effective binary/ternary systems can directly postconsumer waste plastics, which increase toughness by 162 times. Most importantly, also effectively impact resistance, adhesion performance, three-dimensional (3D) printing performance permitted blends 20 times minimal degradation in their properties.

The chemical recycling of polyolefin presents a considerable challenge, especially as upcycling methods struggle with the reality that plastic wastes typically consist mixtures polyethylene (PE), polystyrene (PS), and polypropylene (PP). We report catalytic aerobic oxidative approach for polyolefins corresponding carboxylic acids product. This method encompasses three key innovations. First, it operates under atmospheric pressure mild conditions, using O

Abstract Polystyrene is a staple plastic in the packaging and insulation market. Despite its good recyclability, willingness of PS recycling remains low, largely due to high cost limited profitability. This review examines research progresses, gaps, challenges areas that affect costs, including but not logistics, design, policymaking. We critically evaluate recent developments upcycling strategies, we particularly focus on tandem hydrogen‐atom transfer (HAT) strategies. conclude future studies should only reaction chemistry mechanisms also economic viability processes. The goal this stimulate development innovative strategies with low costs output values. hope technological momentum towards sustainable circular economy.

Polyolefins are the most produced and widely used polymeric materials. However, chemically inert nature of polyolefins has led to severe environmental pollution, posing a threat human sustenance development. Managing recycling polyolefin plastic waste is crucial for transition from linear sustainable circular economy. Catalytic chemical includes traditional techniques like pyrolysis photolysis, innovative methods that introduce cleavable bonds into chain closed-loop recycling. post-functionalization post-consumer materials another strategy tackle waste, aiming upgrade materials' utility contribute sustainability. Overall, developing catalytic deconstructing upcycling plastics essential encourage better reclamation practices reduce impact waste.
