How Do Catalysts Contribute to Waste Valorization?
One of the significant contributions of catalysis to a circular economy is in waste valorization. Catalysts enable the transformation of waste products, such as agricultural residues, plastic waste, and industrial by-products, into useful chemicals, fuels, and materials. For example, catalytic cracking can convert plastic waste into valuable hydrocarbons, while biocatalysts can transform agricultural residues into biofuels.
