It could offer a cheap method for upcycling plastic waste at scale. Scientists from Virginia Tech burn plastic in a special reactor, leaving a waxy residue that can be made into soaps and detergents with the same chemical composition as any other soap. Plastic and soap may appear to have little in common but both are made up of long carbon chains. #upcycling #soap #virginiatech #plasticwaste #upcycling
