Abstract

Plastics are an extremely important class of materials that are prevalent in all facets of society; however, their widespread use over time, combined with limited end-of-life strategies, has led to increasing levels of waste accumulation. Although currently considered a burden, plastics waste is potentially an untapped feedstock for numerous chemical and manufacturing processes. In this review, we discuss the state of the art of approaches for valorization of plastics waste from a materials research perspective, including previous efforts to utilize plastics waste and recent innovations that have opportunities to add significant value. Although additional progress is necessary, we present several diverse capabilities and strategies for valorization that, when brought together, address end-of-life challenges for plastics at every stage of design and product consumption. In short, a materials research–based framework offers a unique perspective to address the urgent issues posed by plastics, unlocking the potential of polymers and plastics waste.

塑料废物增值的创新

塑料是一种极其重要的材料，在社会的各个方面都很普遍;然而，随着时间的推移，它们的广泛使用，加上有限的报废策略，导致废物积累水平不断提高。虽然目前被认为是一种负担，但塑料废物是许多化学和制造过程中潜在的未开发原料。在这篇综述中，我们从材料研究的角度讨论了塑料废物增值方法的最新进展，包括以前利用塑料废物的努力和最近有机会增加显著价值的创新。虽然需要进一步的进展，但我们提出了几种不同的增值能力和策略，当这些能力和策略结合在一起时，可以解决塑料在设计和产品消费的每个阶段面临的寿命终结挑战。简而言之，基于材料研究的框架为解决塑料带来的紧迫问题提供了独特的视角，释放了聚合物和塑料废物的潜力。
