ArsTechnica has a fascinating story out about a new approach
to recycling plastic. When plastics are
heated and melted for recycling, they create a stew that is different from the
components as well as often being weaker and less sturdy.
But it is possible to create plastics from different
monomers that are recycled through the use of strong acid rather than
heat. The different monomers can be
drawn out and used for sturdy new plastic products. See this link:
