molecular recycling

Molecular recycling is a process that breaks down plastics at a molecular level to recover and reuse their original building blocks, called monomers. Unlike traditional recycling, which often shreds and remixes plastic, molecular recycling restores plastics to their raw components, enabling them to be reprocessed into new, high-quality materials. This method helps reduce waste and environmental impact by effectively turning plastic waste back into its fundamental form for manufacturing, promoting a circular economy and potentially decreasing reliance on fossil fuels for plastic production.
