Major breakthrough as scientists turn plastic into fuel using 50% less energy & without adding CO2 to atmosphere – RT
Researchers from the University of Delaware (UD) claim to have created a potentially revolutionary system for repurposing plastic waste more efficiently – and safely…
The UD scientists begin their paper with some rather galling statistics about the state of play when it comes to plastic recycling efforts in the US: Just 9% of plastic waste ever produced in the US has been recycled, while approximately 16% has been burnt – meaning that, sadly, over 75% of all plastic waste ends up in landfills.
