Researchers Discover New Catalyst for Efficiently Recycling Waste Carbon Dioxide Into Plastic
16th January 2018
A team of scientists from University of Toronto, University of California, Berkeley and the Canadian Light Source (CLS) successfully managed to work out the ideal conditions for converting carbon dioxide to ethylene.

The researchers were able to design a catalyst and identify the precise conditions that maximise ethylene production during the reaction, while minimising methane and carbon monoxide production.

We make polycarbonates out of carbon dioxide. Also the material used in phone batteries and diapers from CO2.
Announcing a new catalyst doesn’t mean there’s an investment opportunity.
Of course, the most efficient use for “waste” CO2 is to use it to feed plants and trees.
