Advances in Chemical Upcycling of Plastic Waste: Pathways to High-Value Products for a Sustainable Circular Economy
Plastic waste presents a persistent environmental burden, yet its constituent polymers represent structurally valuable chemical feedstocks. Mechanical recycling remains limited due to polymer degradation, additive contamination, and material downcycling, underscoring the need for alternative strategies. Chemical upcycl...
