Zusammenfassung:	A new technology, ChemPren, is being developed for the catalytic conversion of mixed municipal waste plastic to valuable chemicals and fuel. ChemPren provides a sustainable, clean energy solution to society’s challenge of addressing the 100+ million tons of waste plastic generated annually worldwide. Currently only 7 % is recycled, with the remaining 93+ million being discarded to landfills or burned without useful energy generation.
