The climate change and the shortage of petroleum resources are two critical global issues that have led to an increased focus on sustainability, circular economy, and the use of renewable resources. Bioplastics, such as poly(lactic acid/lactide) (PLA), which are derived from agricultural resources, have emerged as a potential carbon neutral solution to these challenges. Moreover, one promising approach is the chemical recycling of PLA, closing the loop of its circular economy by using PLA-wastes as a feedstock for new and high-quality plastic products. Within the framework of this Call-for-Transfer project the potential of chemical recycling of PLA and its scale-up were investigated.
