Abstract
In a recent issue of Cell Reports Physical Science, Lin and coworkers describe a highly efficient method for methanolysis of polyesters and polycarbonates mediated by N-methylpiperidine. Mechanistic studies revealed the important roles of hydrogen bonding to achieve reaction efficiency, offering a simple method for closed-loop recycling of mixed plastic waste.
