ETH Zurich researchers have developed a way to break down plastics into their monomer constituents, allowing for much easier and cheaper recycling.
The new process involves placing the polymer in a dichlorobenzene solvent and shining a violet light on it as reactions in the solvent take place.
Once finished, the result is a vat filled with monomers and other chemicals which can be easily separated and recycled.
