Summary

This review summarizes how hydrothermal liquefaction, a process that uses hot pressurized water, can be used to chemically recycle waste plastics. Researchers examined how different reaction conditions affect the efficiency of breaking down plastics into useful products. The study suggests that this technique holds promise as a practical approach to addressing the global plastic waste crisis.

Plastic waste is a major global issue and hydrothermal liquefaction is a promising technique for the chemical recycling of waste plastics. This review summarises the effect of reaction conditions on the liquefaction efficiency.
