Summary

This study reviews innovative recycling strategies for the roughly 90% of plastics that currently escape recycling, examining emerging chemical and mechanical approaches needed to advance a true circular economy and reduce the growing environmental burden of plastic waste.

Plastic waste presents a critical environmental challenge, with reports of global production surpassing 390 million tons annually and an effective recycling rate of less than 10%.
