Plastic upcycling method turns food packaging into faster-degrading materials
Scientists have discovered a way to convert widely used plastics into new materials with distinct properties that degrade more rapidly. Applying this new process to upcycle existing plastics—such as those used for food packaging and in 3D printing—could contribute to tackling global plastic pollutio...

Scientists have discovered a way to convert widely used plastics into new materials with distinct properties that degrade more rapidly. Applying this new process to upcycle existing plastics—such as those used for food packaging and in 3D printing—could contribute to tackling global plastic pollution issues, researchers say.
