Sugar-derived catalyst boosts plastic recycling and hydrogen production

_{//science-technology.news-articles.net/content/2 .. s-plastic-recycling-and-hydrogen-production.html}
^{Published in Science and Technology on Tuesday, February 18th 2025 at 14:42 GMT by MSN}

DGIST's Professor Chiyoung Park's team has developed a catalytic technology that effectively removes additives that hinder plastic recycling, using components derived from sugar. This study not only provides an alternative to conventional complex and costly processes but also suggests the expandability of this technology into plastic recycling and environmental remediation.

The article from MSN discusses a breakthrough in plastic recycling and hydrogen production using a sugar-derived catalyst. Researchers have developed a catalyst made from sugar, specifically glucose, which can efficiently break down polyethylene (PE), one of the most common plastics, into valuable chemicals. This process not only recycles plastic waste but also produces hydrogen gas, a clean energy source. The catalyst works by mimicking the natural decomposition process of organic materials, converting plastic into smaller hydrocarbon molecules and hydrogen. This innovation could potentially reduce the environmental impact of plastic waste while simultaneously contributing to sustainable energy solutions, offering a dual benefit in addressing both waste management and renewable energy needs.
