#polyolefin_waste

Polyolefin waste to light olefins with ethylene and base-metal heterogeneous catalysts The selective conversion of polyethylene (PE), polypropylene (PP), and mixtures of these two polymers to form products with high volume demand is urgently needed because current methods suffer from lo...

This commentary discusses the Science paper by Conk et al. (www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...) reporting the deconstruction of both PE and PP over a combination of WO3/SiO2 and Na/γ-Al2O3 catalysts and commercialization challenges #polyolefin_waste #conversion
