A team of South Korean researchers has developed a novel photocatalytic technology that transforms plastic waste into clean hydrogen fuel using sunlight and water, offering a potentially scalable solution to both plastic pollution and sustainable energy production. . At a lab in Singapore, a team of chemists stared down one of the modern world's most persistent enemies: polyethylene, the ultra-stable plastic that wraps our groceries, clogs our oceans, and refuses—politely but firmly—to decompose. Then they did something remarkable. Using a powdered catalyst. . [naturejab] shows off his solar powered pyrolysis machine which can convert scrap plastic into fuel.
