Enabling the polymer circular economy: Innovations in photoluminescent labeling of plastic waste for enhanced sorting

It is widely accepted that moving from a linear to circular economy for plastics will be beneficial to reduce plastic pollution in our environment and to prevent loss of material value. However, challenges within the sorting of plastic waste often lead to contaminated waste streams that can devalue...
