Abstract:The rise in universal population and accompanying demands have directed towards an exponential surge in the generation of polymeric waste. The estimate predicts that world‐wide plastic production will rise to approximately 590 million metric tons by 2050, whereas 5000 million more tires will be routinely abandoned by 2030. Handling this waste and its detrimental consequences on the Earth's ecosystem and human health presents a significant challenge. Converting the wastes into carbon‐based functional materials … Show more
