Catalytic Recycling of Plastic Waste

Our research aims to develop efficient catalytic processes for converting plastic waste into valuable chemical feedstocks. We investigate various catalyst systems to improve product selectivity, stability, and reaction efficiency. A key focus is on thermochemical pathways such as catalytic pyrolysis, enabling the controlled breakdown of polymers into useful hydrocarbons and hydrogen.
