A Highly Efficient and Non-Toxic Method to Upcycle Single-Use Plastics
The problem of single-use plastics is one that has been gaining more attention in recent years as the impact of plastic pollution on the environment continues to become more and more apparent. Now, researchers from the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth have developed a highly efficient, non-toxic method to upcycle single-use plastic into valuable chemicals that can be used in a variety of different products. The process involves heating the plastic to break it down into small molecules, which can then be used to create a variety of useful products. The team believes that this method could provide an environmentally friendly way to reduce the amount of plastic waste in the world.
