The Cover Feature shows the heterogeneous catalytic conversion of plastic solid waste into medium‐range hydrocarbons and light olefins for the production of fuels and chemically recycled plastics. The metaphorical image is the life cycle of leaves: falling, decomposing, and fertilizing the tree to yield the next generation of leaves, corresponding to a circular carbon economy for plastics.
