Abstract

Invited for this month's cover is the group of Stephan Enthaler at the University of Hamburg (Germany). The cover picture shows the general structure of chemical recycling processes. In more detail, the chemical recycling of end-of-life polymers (plastics) is subdivided into two linked processes. The depolymerization allows the conversion of the end-of-life polymer to monomers, which can be reused in the polymerization step for the synthesis of the polymer. By doing so advantages with respect to resource-efficiency and sustainability can be created. In our manuscript we applied the chemical recycling concept via depolymerization-polymerization for poly(lactide). Read the full text of their Communication at 10.1002/open.202000243.
