Summary

Researchers demonstrated that pyrolysis of waste thermoplastics using a copper carbonate catalyst achieves a 94% yield of liquid petrochemicals, offering a high-efficiency pathway for converting plastic waste into reusable fuel products. The findings highlight the transformative potential of catalytic pyrolysis for closing the loop in a circular economy for plastics.

Pyrolysis of waste thermoplastics, using a CuCO3 catalyst, yields 94% liquid petrochemicals, addressing plastic waste sustainably. Thorough analysis and diverse industry applications demonstrate transformative potential for a circular economy.
