Post-consumer and post-industrial waste plastic are a significant source of carbon dense material.  In order to transform these waste streams into feedstock streams, there are several R&D challenges which need to be addressed including mastering deconstruciton chemistries with both chemio- and regio- specficity, and designing networks of reactions which can form an integrated value chain.  Here we present pathways to addressing these challenges, as well as the methods and approaches which must be developed in order to accelerate the rate of research in this field.
