3.Abstract：Owing to the rapid upsurge in plastic production in the last five decades, which has resulted in a dramatic increase in global plastic pollution, the development of sustainable techniques for plastic recycling and upcycling is indispensable in an attempt to decrease global plastic pollution and to attain a sustainable cycle. In response to this, the present author performed the development of heterogeneous catalysts for the chemical recycling of polyester plastics, i.e., polyethylene terephthalate (PET) via glycolysis and polycarbonate (PC) via methanolysis, and the conversion of PET and the glycolysis product of PET, namely bis(2-hydroxyethyl) terephthalate (BHET), into valuable metal-organic frameworks (MOFs).
