In Science Magazine this week, The Hartwig Group turn waste polyethylene into propylene through dehydrogenation and then isomerization/metathesis reactions with fresh ethylene science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

Is it possible to recycle a common waste plastic into useful chemical feedstocks? We are excited to share our new paper in Science Magazine, where we show the conversion of waste PE into propylene. Congrats RJ Conk, Steven Hanna and coworkers! science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…


Thrilled to finally see this in print! I have to give thanks the whole The Hartwig Group, but especially to my wonderful mentors Steven Hanna and John F Hartwig for their constant support - could not have done it without you guys. doi.org/10.1126/scienc…


Congrats to RJ and the The Hartwig Group for this fine addition to advanced chemical recycling of waste polyethylene, here to useful olefins. This is an outstanding achievement, given the landscape of conventional hydrocarbon processing.
