Post-consumer plastics become an issue to the environment due to their stable and non-biodegradable nature. Their management is essential today and starts from the source of utility through segregation to the place where proper care can be taken place that includes landfills or energy recovery areas or place of recycling. The present work is a step towards the development of an environmentally friendly and sustainable depolymerization method of bisphenol A-based polycarbonate. Chemical recycling has come up with various advantages in comparison to the traditional recycling methods for plastics. The reaction has been performed with environmentally friendly green solvents and also with green reagents like alumina and montmorillonite clays.
