New process vaporizes plastic bags and bottles, yielding gases to make new, recycled plastics
Chemists have developed a catalytic process that turns the largest component of today's plastic waste stream, polyolefin plastic bags and bottles, into gases -- propylene and isobutylene -- that are the building blocks of polypropylene and other type
A new chemical process can essentially vaporize plastics that dominate the waste stream today and turn them into hydrocarbon building blocks for new plastics.The catalytic process, developed at the U… [+7474 chars]
