Swiss researchers have developed a method to transform plastic waste into high-performance adhesives. This innovation utilizes polyethylene and polypropylene, common plastics, to create a strong adhesive suitable for various materials. The process modifies the chemical structure of plastics instead of breaking them down, allowing for a single-step reaction without expensive catalysts. The adhesive has shown promising results in tests, and the technology could also enhance plastic properties for applications like food packaging. While commercial interest is growing, the cost and environmental impact of scaling the method remain to be determined.
