Multicatalysis enables turning plastic waste into chemical commodities
TRENDS IN CHEMISTRY（2023）
Abstract
Recent studies by the laboratories of Hartwig, Scott, and Guironnet demonstrated that ingenious cas-cades of reactions driven by cata-lysts operating in concert enable conversion of ethylene and poly-ethylene (PE) materials, the largest plastic waste contributor, into pro-pylene, the valuable olefin used in the synthesis of various chemicals and commodity materials.
