Plastic waste is an emerging environmental issue for our society. Critical action to tackle this problem is to upcycle plastic waste as valuable feedstock. Thermochemical conversion of plastic waste has received growing attention. Although thermochemical conversion is promising for handling mixed plastic waste, it typically occurs at high temperatures (300–800 °C). Catalysts can play a critical role in improving the energy efficiency of thermochemical conversion, promoting targeted reactions, and improving product selectivity. This Review aims to summarize the state‐of‐the‐art of catalytic thermochemical conversions of various types of plastic waste. First, general trends and recent development of catalytic thermochemical conversions including pyrolysis, gasification, hydrothermal processes, and chemolysis of plastic waste into fuels, chemicals, and value‐added materials were reviewed. Second, the status quo for the commercial implementation of thermochemical conversion of plastic waste was summarized. Finally, the current challenges and future perspectives of catalytic thermochemical conversion of plastic waste including the design of sustainable and robust catalysts were discussed. Thermochemical conversion: Plastic waste is one of the most critical issues in recent years. Upcycle plastic waste as valuable feedstock has attracted huge attention. This Review summarizes thermochemical conversion methods that can convert plastic waste into energy, chemicals, and value‐added materials. It also highlights the recent development of catalytic thermochemical conversions and the current challenges of catalytic thermochemical conversion of plastic waste.
