Polymer Science and Nanotechnology

Polymer recycling is a way to narrow environmental problems caused by polymeric waste accumulation cause from day-to-day applications of polymer materials such packaging and buildings. Once the plastic is  collected and sent to a recycling center, it is typically divided into different polymer types, which are then separately shredded (and impurities like paper are removed), then melted back into polymer pellets. These bits are before traded on toward be cast-off in novel products.
