The article presents a novel method for the selective and sequential chemical depolymerization of mixed plastics, specifically poly(lactic acid) (PLA), bisphenol A polycarbonate (BPA-PC), and polyethylene terephthalate (PET). The authors developed a simple and cost-effective approach using metal salt/organobase dual catalysts to achieve selective depolymerization without the need for presorting or post-depolymerization purification processes. By carefully selecting catalysts and conditions, the team demonstrated the ability to selectively depolymerize mixtures of these polymers. Additionally, they explored the potential for upcycling by using alternative nucleophiles to produce value-added monomers. The study highlights the importance of catalyst choice and reaction conditions in achieving high selectivity and efficiency, making it a promising technique for the circular economy of plastics.The article presents a novel method for the selective and sequential chemical depolymerization of mixed plastics, specifically poly(lactic acid) (PLA), bisphenol A polycarbonate (BPA-PC), and polyethylene terephthalate (PET).
