Plastics and the circular economy
This chapter explores the implications of a circular economy for law, particularly with respect to plastics. Reflecting that our thinking about circular economies has emerged only in recent decades and that it is still evolving, this chapter aims principally to map out key aspects of the debates about law’s role in the circular economy.

The role of remanufacturing in a circular economy
, 2020 The circular economy is a concept that is studied by many manufacturers today, especially in Europe. Remanufacturing in increasingly recognized as an essential part of the circular economy.

Building ecologies of circular intermediaries
, 2020 The transition to a circular economy requires deep structural change of entire production-consumption systems. Such a systemic transition will inevitably be hampered by poor knowledge and resource transfer between various levels of society.

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.Atomically dispersed Ni–S4 sites on CdS nanorods induce interfacial charge polarization, directing photogenerated electrons to H2 evolution and holes to selective ester‐bond cleavage of poly(lactic acid). Without sacrificial reagents, this charge‐coupled system produces lactate while suppressing overoxidation, achieving an H2 evolution rate of 41.74 ...

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.Controlled carbonization of an Al‐MOF partially decomposes its linkers, exposing coordinatively unsaturated Al centers within an oxide/carbon composite. The resulting Lewis acid sites, rather than surface area, govern organochlorine capture: the composite removes chemically diverse organochlorines from waste plastic pyrolysis oil, outperforms a ...
