Summary

This review examines catalytic strategies for converting plastic waste into value-added products and fuels, addressing how catalysis can improve the efficiency and selectivity of plastic valorization processes. The findings point to catalysis as essential for making plastic recycling and upcycling economically viable.

The widespread production and utilization of plastic products have become ingrained in our society, resulting in a staggering amount of plastic waste, severe environmental challenges, and resource depletion.
