An innovative upcycling process transforms unsorted daily plastic waste into hydrogen and valuable carbon materials. In their Research Article (e202404196), Guoxing Chen, Zeai Huang, Ying Zhou, Anke Weidenkaff et al. develop a novel plasma‐enabled method using single‐atom catalysts to rapidly decompose various types of plastic waste, including mixed plastics, into high‐value carbon nanomaterials and hydrogen. This efficient and cost‐effective approach represents a breakthrough in sustainable waste management, providing a promising solution for large‐scale recycling of mixed post‐consumer plastics.
