Efficient chemical recycling of poly(L-lactic acid) via either alcoholysis to alkyl lactate or thermal depolymerization to L-lactide promoted by Zn(II) catalysts
Poly(lactic acid) (PLA), a commercially fully bio-based and biodegradable polymer, stands out as a sustainable alternative to commodity plastics. Its current end-of-life management involves composting, but chemical recycling would be more appropriate for a circular economy model. Here we report two...
