Abstract

The development of efficient and cost-effective technologies for the chemical recycling of plastic waste is an important challenge of current times. This chapter describes various methods for the chemical depolymerisation of plastic waste including the current-state-of-the art catalytic technologies as well as their advantages and limitations where relevant. Emphasis has been given to the approach of the reductive depolymerisation processes such as hydrogenation reactions considering the recent advances in the application of molecular catalysts for the depolymerisation of plastic waste.
