A Breakthrough in Self-Healing Plastic: Now Able to Be Reshaped and Recycled
The future of plastic is here! Scientists from the University of California, Riverside have developed a self-healing plastic that can be reshaped and recycled multiple times. This new plastic has the potential to revolutionize the plastic industry, making it more sustainable and environmentally friendly. The plastic can be degraded by heat and pressure and then reshaped and reused. This means that instead of simply throwing out plastic, it can be recycled and reused indefinitely. This innovation could reduce the amount of plastic waste produced, as well as the energy and resources used to create new plastic.
