Scientists Turn Mixed Plastic Waste into Clean Hydrogen
Why It Matters for ITAD
New technologies may create opportunities or challenges for equipment processing. Growing ESG focus creates opportunities for ITAD companies with strong sustainability credentials.
Mixed plastic waste is nearly impossible to recycle, with billions of tons choking landfills and incinerators worldwide. Now scientists in California and South Korea have developed a unique, experimental method to manage this problematic stream. It’s designed to deliver another advantage: converting the trash into clean hydrogen while trapping carbon before it’s released to the air.
