    As the first of the three synthetic materials, plastics have a serious impact on the ecological environment when they are discarded after use

    Recently, the Martin/Wang Meng research group of Peking University reported for the first time in the world a new process of catalytically converting polylactic acid plastic into alanine (Figure 1)


    This new method of converting PLA into high-value-added chemicals under the guidance of the idea of ​​"carbon circulation" has greater advantages than natural degradation pathways, and will provide inspiration for the recycling and conversion of other types of waste plastics

    The research was funded by the National Natural Science Foundation of China, the Key R&D Program of the Ministry of Science and Technology, and the Beijing National Research Center for Molecular Sciences
