  • All plastic waste could be recycled into new, high-quality plastic through advanced steam cracking

    ​A research group at Chalmers University of Technology, Sweden, has developed an efficient process for breaking down any plastic waste to a molecular level. The resulting gases can then be transformed back into new plastics – of the same quality as the original. The process could transform today's plastic factories into recycling refineries, within the framework of their existing infrastructure.
