Turning Trash to Treasure: China’s Plastic-to-Petrol Breakthrough

Researchers from the United States and China have collaborated on a new technique to convert dangerous plastic waste into petrol. The technique has shown exceptional efficiency, with over 95% effectiveness. An important aspect of this process is its room-temperature operation, which does away with the requirement for high-energy consumption or expensive equipment. This technology marks a significant milestone, permitting the conversion of mixed plastic waste into petrol in one simple step under usual temperature and pressure.
