ETH Zurich catalyst can convert polypropylene directly into motor oil with high selectivity

Green Car Congress

The recycling of plastic waste plays a large conceptual role in the quesst for the realization of a circular economy. Polypropylene constitutes about 30% of all plastic waste. This suggests that the design of catalysts that can control the selectivity of this process is challenging. Shibashish D. Jaydev, Antonio J.
