Australian Scientists Believe They Have Invented a Way to Recycle All Types of Plastic
21st November 2019
Len Humphreys and Sydney University professor Thomas Maschmeyer told the Australian Broadcasting Corporation on Tuesday that the patented device they developed can process plastics that currently cannot be recycled.
The so-called Catalytic Hydrothermal Reactor (Cat-HTR) has the ability to turn disposed plastic into fuel or remade new plastic through a process of chemical recycling that changes the plastics at a molecular level and then turns them back into oil, Humphreys told ABC.
