Abstract:Recycling processes (such as carbon, oxygen, nitrogen cycles etc.) occur each day as an essential character for nature. The managed ecosystems maintain the natural environment in a state of great harmony for millions years. In recent several decades, various polymers with long-term durability have been developed to be the most predominantly used materials and drastically change the lifestyle of our human beings. However, the tremendous growth of plastic debris with no or very low degradability over the past decades significantly affects the natural environment. The use of alternative recycling materials is the best option from the environmental point of view. This critical review highlights the most significant progress in chemically recyclable materials, especially several typical systems, which embody perfect recycle between polymers and the starting monomers. © 2018 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.
