Abstract
Polyolefins are challenging to recycle following a circular model owing to the recalcitrance of their constitutive C–C bonds. Now, a strategy based on intrinsically weakened C–C bonds is proposed to design biologically derived polyolefin-like materials that can be readily deconstructed back to monomers.
