Plastic recycling

Chemists describe an innovative method they use to convert plastic thrown into the trash into a stronger, more stable material commonly used for food packaging. In the framework of such an upcycling, the method could be a simpler and cheaper means of recycling plastic
Chemists from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) have succeeded in developing a method to modify thermoplastic plastic materials using a chemical binder while making them easier to unload, while still retaining the mechanical strength that makes them useful lacquers.
