Scientists from <\/span>the <\/span>University of California, <\/span>R<\/span>iverside, have moved one step closer to finding a use for plastic waste.\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n
In a recent study, Kandis Leslie Abdul-Aziz, an assistant professor of chemical and environmental engineering at the University of California, Riverside, has detailed a method to convert plastic waste into a highly porous form of charcoal or char. This has a massive surface area of around 400 square meters per gram of mass.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
