Abstract The soaring demands, production, and disposal of plastics have caused a great burden on the environment. Chemical degradation and catalytic transformation techniques are capable of decompos-ing or converting plastics into value-added chemicals, fuels, and functional nanocarbons. These techniques include thermal treat-ments, advanced oxidation, photocatalysis, electrocatalysis, and solvolysis. Understanding the transformation routes and destina-tions of the carbon and hydrogen elements in plastics is important for the development of advanced techniques to achieve plastic cir-cular economy. To this end, we present an overview of the recent ad-vances in carbon and hydrogen circulations by catalytic technologies in plastic chemistry. Insights will be provided to achieve material and economic sustainability via plastic recycling/upgrading toward a closed loop across energy, chemistry, and environmental sectors.
