If you have a question about this talk, please contact Alexander R Epstein .

Recycling is often touted as the primary way for people to reduce plastic waste. However, there are significant limitations to the extent to which recycling can actually help, even in terms of the fundamental chemistry of plastic recycling. In this Lunchtime Seminar, I will describe some of the predominant strategies for recycling that are being explored and also efforts to design plastics for easier recycling. In addition to the chemistry, I will also address the limitations of these methods as meaningful solutions for waste reduction.
