A Closed‐Loop Recyclable Low‐Density Polyethylene [PDF]
Advanced ScienceLow‐density polyethylene (LDPE) is one of the most important plastics, which is produced unfortunately under extreme conditions. In addition, it consists of robust aliphatic C─C bonds which are challenging to cleave for plastic recycling.

Upcycling Waste Low‐Density Polyethylene into Highly Crystalline Graphite [PDF]
Advanced ScienceOnly a small fraction of the global plastic waste is recycled, and the recycled materials are often of lower quality. For example, only 14% of the world's total plastic is recycled, with low‐density polyethylene (LDPE) accounting for only 4% of it.

Computer-aided discovery of a novel thermophilic laccase for low-density polyethylene degradation.
Journal of Hazardous Materials, 2023 Polyethylene (PE) and industrial dyes are recalcitrant pollutants calling for the development of sustainable solutions for their degradation. Laccases have been explored for removal of contaminants and pollutants, including dye decolorization and plastic
