The age of pre-sorting mixed plastic waste may soon be over. The secret weapon? A cheap catalyst made from nickel that targets one of our most problematic polymers. The findings are detailed in a study published September 2 in the journal Nature Chemistry. Even after decades of worldwide efforts, recycling plastic remains much easier said than done. The frustrating reality is largely thanks to a group of polymers called polyolefins. Humans manufacture roughly 220 million tons of polyolefin-based products every year, most of which are single-use items like condiment...
