Chemists at UC Berkeley created a new catalytic process that turns plastic bags and bottles (polyolefins) into gases like propylene and isobutylene. These gases are used to make new plastics like polypropylene. The process uses cheap solid catalysts and can be scaled up for industrial use. This method helps recycle plastics better and supports a circular economy by turning waste into new materials. 🔄♻️ [Source] @googlefactss #plasticrecycling#catalysis#polyolefins#circularEconomy#sustainability#chemistry#innovation
