Yesterday, we published the news about plastic eating bacteria that can help solve the plastic pollution crisis. Today, there’s another breakthrough: a company has been able to create a chemical process that turns plastic bags into a liquid that can be a resource for other chemical processes.

Recycling breakthrough: this process turns 10 plastic bags into liquid in 3 hours
