This tech is the next generation of plastic recycling

Only 9% of the world’s plastic is recycled - the rest winds up burnt, buried, or littered. Even recycled plastic degrades over time, winding up as fragments or microplastics in the ocean. What if there were an alternative to the current imperfect #recycling systems? That’s the thinking behind @DePoly, which switches out the conventional melt-based recycling for a #chemical process that breaks plastic waste down into its original molecular building blocks, ready to be reused in new plastics. Here, co-founder and CEO @samantha-anderson-67399066 talks us through the brainwave that led to DePoly - and her goal of tackling ‘all the plastics’.
