Burning it may not seem like an immediate solution to plastic waste, but @LiangbingHu and co present an idea to control pyrolysis of plastic waste to avoid coke, reduce byproducts and generate monomers for repolymerisation. nature.com/articles/s41586-0…

Depolymerization of plastics by means of electrified spatiotemporal heating

Nature - A depolymerization method is described that uses electrified spatiotemporal heating to selectively generate monomers from the commodity plastics polypropylene and poly(ethylene...
