How vaporizing plastics could be key to saving a failing recycling industry
SMRTR summary
Scientists at UC Berkeley developed a new chemical recycling process that breaks down plastics into their original building blocks, allowing for the creation of virgin plastics from scratch. This method could lead to a more efficient recycling industry, reducing the need for fossil fuels and potentially creating a circular economy for valuable plastics like polyethylene and polypropylene.
