The Frontier of Plastics Recycling: Rethinking Waste as a Resource for High‐Value Applications
Hannah Mangold, Bernhard von Vacano
Abstract
Circular Economy This frontispiece reflects upon the perspective article 2100488 by Hannah Mangold and Bernhard von Vacano. Plastics waste on the left side, used as feedstock in chemical recycling, can be circled back into demanding engineering plastics applications, for example in an electric vehicle as housing for battery electronics, electric connectors and cables (Image credit BASF SE).
