Repurposing chemical waste: Sustainable chemistry for circularity beyond artificial intelligence.

Journal: Cell
Published Date: Jul 21, 2022

Abstract

Generating considerable amounts of industrial waste requires rethinking chemistry for circularity in a broader picture. We discuss the study by Wołos et al. (2022) showing that the critical application of artificial intelligence on chemical reactivity can help us trace an unprecedented number of syntheses to novel responsible uses of waste.
