Inside Front Cover: Molecular Design for Dual Circularity: Polyester with Complementary Mechanical and Chemical Recyclability under Mild Conditions

Abstract

A dual circularity concept to prevent plastic waste accumulation is presented by Yue Han and co-workers in their Research Article (e202421431). The concept is exemplified for triarylmethane-containing polyesters and their facile closed-loop recyclability via complementary mechanical and chemical routes. For the polymers with dual circularity, it is recommended to proceed with mechanical recycling when we can, and switch to chemical recycling when we must.
