Scientists achieve rapid upcycling of microplastics to graphene
James Cook University researchers have achieved a significant breakthrough that allows them to convert microplastics to a highly valuable material. The study is published in the journal Small Science.
You're viewing a single thread.
I don't think this will ever be used to recycle micro plastics. Just grinding up plastic is way more economical.
You're suggesting we lower the amount of plastics by grinding up more plastic?
No, they're saying that companies that want graphene would probably grind up plastic rather than pay to extract microplastics from the environment.
That's the only way to melt it efficiently...
most microplastics come from car tires and breaks. its there BECAUSE it's been ground.
