Annual report dates come from the budget period on your award notice. That date is not public, so it is not shown here.

How we got this date

NSF lists this award's end date as 31 May 2031.
NSF rules say the final report is due no later than 120 days after that.
So the final report is due by 28 September 2031.

Abstract

More than 6 million metric tons of polypropylene (PP) is produced annually in the U.S. It is the second most produced plastic in the U.S. Less than 1% of this PP is recycled because common recycling methods are inefficient and often produce low-quality material. Instead of recycling PP, a special chemical process with catalysts can break down PP into useful products, turning plastic waste into valuable materials.…
