A new method to fight plastic pollution
New Delhi, March (India Science Wire): In a significant development in environmental pollution, a team of researchers from the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT)-Mandi, has developed a method that promises to help transform plastic into hydrogen when exposed to light. The generation of hydrogen from plastics is expected to be more useful because hydrogen is considered the most practical non-polluting fuel of the future.
Plastics, most of which are derived from petroleum, are not biodegradable. They cannot be easily broken down into harmless products. It is feared that most of the 4.9 billion tonnes of plastics ever produced would end up in landfills, threatening human health and the environment.
