Organocatalyzed electroreductive direct depolymerization of polyethylene terephthalate

Organocatalyzed electroreductive direct depolymerization of polyethylene terephthalate

Plastics have become integral parts of modern life, but the indiscriminate disposal of non-biodegradable plastic waste has created an environmental crisis worldwide. In this issue of Chem Catalysis, Luca and co-workers report a groundbreaking, organocatalyzed electroreductive approach to depolymeriz...
