Abstract

The increasing accumulation of polymer waste requires innovative recycling strategies that enable the recovery of valuable chemical products. Low-molecular polymer waste (LMPW), often overlooked in conventional recycling, represents a promising feedstock for chemical valorization due to its reduced chain length and high reactivity[1-3]. This study presents an advanced thermochemical and catalytic approach for converting LMPW into apolar reagents, such as alkanes and olefins, suitable for industrial chemical applications. The process integrates controlled pyrolysis with heterogeneous catalysis to enhance selectivity toward non-polar hydrocarbons. Reaction mechanisms, chemical pathways, and technological parameters are analyzed in detail. The results demonstrate that optimized temperature control and catalyst selection significantly improve apolar product yields, offering a sustainable and scalable solution for polymer waste upcycling.
