Journal Article
Garratt, A., Nguyen, K., Brooke, A., Taylor, M. J., & Francesconi, M. G. (2023). Photocatalytic Hydrolysis─A Sustainable Option for the Chemical Upcycling of Polylactic Acid. ACS Environmental Au, 3(6), 342–347. https://doi.org/10.1021/acsenvironau.3c00040

Plastic waste is a critical global issue, yet current strategies to avoid committing plastic waste to landfills include incineration, gasification, or pyrolysis high carbon emitting and energy consuming approaches. However, plastic waste can become a... Read More about Photocatalytic Hydrolysis─A Sustainable Option for the Chemical Upcycling of Polylactic Acid.
