Recycling Coated Thermoplastics

This new method of separating co-bonded plastics allows for an inexpensive solution for recycling coated thermoplastics. Michelle is diligent about recycling, but as a Chemical Engineer realized many plastics that could be recycled were not because they were coated with another polymer (to add color or texture or UV protection) that made recycling more expensive.
Like this idea? Give it the thumbs up to help us decide which projects we'll make into products.
