Polymers have been one of the most widely used materials in our daily life due to properties including low production costs, light weight, hygiene, durability and design adaptability. However, the increasing consumption of different kinds of polymer-based materials in various fields results in a huge amount of waste material. Once the polymers have fulfilled the function for which they were manufactured, they are disposed of in landfills in large amounts each year, which is incompatible with current environmental goals. The disposal of polymer-based plastics, such as incineration and landfill, results in environmental pollution and land occupation.
