Waste plastics are accumulating in landfills and the natural environment at unsustainable rates, causing harm to human and marine life, and producing persistent microplastics. Among the most common ocean plastics are fishing next and floats comprised of polyolefin plastics which are resistant to degradation due to their strong carbon-carbon backbones. This project will utilize recyclable catalysts to lower the energy required to break apart these plastics to produce value-added chemicals.
