Published: Mar 15 2025, 10 ameznews.inIn a significant advancement in tackling the global plastic crisis, scientists have developed a novel method to decompose plastic waste using moisture from the air. This innovative process employs a cost-effective catalyst to break down polyethylene terephthalate (PET), the predominant plastic in the polyester family, into its fundamental building blocks, or monomers. These monomers can be recycled or upcycled into higher-value materials, offering a more sustainable alternative to existing recycling techniques. Published in *Green Chemistry*, the research highlights the method's safety, affordability, and environmental benefits, addressing the urgent need for improved plastic waste processing technologies. Northwestern's Yosi Kratish, a co-author of the study, emphasized the inefficiency of current recycling practices, which often result in lower-quality products. The solvent-free technique, which utilizes trace moisture, presents a practical solution to one of the most pressing environmental challenges of our time.
