Depolymerization Recycling: Plastics Circularity

Plastics, structural polymers made from monomers, are ubiquitous in modern life and have unique benefits. At their end of life, they must be reused or recycled in ways not yet implemented today. In many cases, the polymerization process can be efficiently reversed via depolymerization recycling to regain monomers at the original quality level. As such, depolymerization is a key circularity enabler for some classes of polymers, especially when crosslinked or used in composites. This book int...
