CAN SUNLIGHT TURN MICROPLASTIC WASTE INTO VINEGAR?
Researchers at the University of Waterloo have proven so. The team have transformed plastic polymers into acetic acid, which has wide uses across food production, chemical manufacturing and energy.“ Our goal was to solve the plastic pollution challenge by converting microplastic waste into high-value products using sunlight,” said Dr. Yimin Wu, lead of the study at the University of Waterloo.
