Achieving net-zero greenhouse gas emission plastics by a circular carbon economy
Meys, R. et al., Science Plastics & Pollution
Meys et al. report a series of life cycle analyses suggesting that even the current varieties of commercial monomers could potentially be manufactured and polymerized with no net greenhouse gas emissions. The cycle relies on combining recycling of plastic waste with chemical reduction of carbon dioxide captured from incineration or derived from biomass.
