Depolymerization reaction over 0.2% Ru/zeolite-Y both with and without water of a PP, b HDPE, c Commercial LDPE, and d LDPE bottle. Reaction conditions: 300 °C, 9 h, 30 bar H2 (at 25 °C), 1.70 g of reactant, 2.5 mg of Ru, and a water/catalyst ratio of 1.0 for the reactions with water. Detailed reaction results are shown in Supplementary Table 8. Error bars = standard deviation. Source data are provided as a Source Data file.
