Unlimited recycling of mixed plastics is possible!

According to foreign media reports, researchers have designed a new material system to solve one of the biggest challenges in the recycling process of consumer products: mixed plastic recycling
.
This will help make fully recyclable plastic products and enable an efficient circular economy for durable goods such as cars

Most products these days are made from a mix of different plastics, such as sneakers and electronics
.
These mixed plastics are difficult to recycle and use to make new products
.

Researchers at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab) have developed a custom material called polydiketoenamine (PDK) to address the mixed plastic recycling problem
.
This new type of plastic can be recycled efficiently and infinitely, offering a solution for low-carbon manufacturing of plastic products
