Revolutionary method for recycling chemical polymers
Humanity has come to rely heavily on the benefits offered by plastics and their application can be found in almost every aspect of daily life. However, the main disadvantage of this reliance on synthetic polymer-based materials is that they have been scientifically proven to contribute to some of mankind's most serious environmental problems.
Now, a team of researchers at the Tokyo Institute of Technology has developed a chemical method that can help transform polymers into a source of fertilizer that could revolutionize both plastic recycling methods and the food production industry.
