Scientists Use Sunlight to Turn Plastic Waste Into Clean Hydrogen Fuel

The global plastic crisis has met a formidable opponent in the form of innovative chemical engineering. Researchers are now perfecting a process known as photoreforming, which utilizes solar energy to break down non-recyclable plastic polymers. This breakthrough simultaneously addresses the mounting piles of landfill waste and the urgent need for sustainable energy. By converting discarded materials into high-purity hydrogen, scientists are turning an environmental liability into a cornerstone of the green energy economy.
