Researchers are integrating tested technologies and developing new ones to break down plastic waste for conversion into useful materials.<\/h2>\n
Researchers are developing new technologies, such as plasma that shoots \u2018bullet\u2019 electrons, to break down plastic waste to convert it into useful materials.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019re learning about new technologies and helping to develop new ideas for more interdisciplinary approaches to solving these complex problems,\u201d said Xianglan Bai, an Iowa State University associate professor of mechanical engineering.<\/p>\n
