Developing effective catalysts for chemical recycling of high-density polyethylene with commercial grade stands out due to its inertness. In their Research Article (e202317526), Javier Pérez-Ramírez and co-workers demonstrate that 1-nm ruthenium particles supported on titania catalyze the hydrogenolysis to C1–C45 alkanes of plastic caps used in soft drinks. They quantify the contribution of mechanistic routes and identify deactivation pathways introduced by common additives.
