AbstractNON-TECHNICAL SUMMARY Synthetic polymers are used everywhere in our daily lives, with applications ranging from packaging and construction materials to electronics and medical devices. However, the lack of efficient recycling for polymer waste has resulted in its accumulation in the environment, causing negative impacts on ecosystems. Depolymerization, which involves breaking down polymer waste into its building blocks (monomers), has emerged as a promising solution for reducing the environmenta
