NEW Zinc catalyst dismantling plastics at room temperature.

Plastic Upcycling may not be a familiar phrase for many people, but it could just be the solution to our global plastic waste problem. Existing recycling methods tend to degrade plastics until they're only good for landfill. Now a new zinc catalyst has been developed that can break down polymers completely and make them into even more useful products that can stay within a circular economy indefinitely.
