Tags: National University of Singapore, Singapore, Energy & Environment, Science & Exploration
This innovation offers a self-sustainable method for converting plastic waste into valuable carbon nanomaterials, addressing environmental and economic challenges in plastic waste management. Unlike traditional incineration or pyrolysis methods, this approach minimizes energy consumption and harmful emissions, producing value-added materials instead of waste. Applications include using the resulting carbon nanomaterials in electronics, energy storage, and other advanced industries. The technology provides a cleaner and more efficient alternative for managing plastic waste, with potential to scale as a sustainable solution. This approach could drive growth in the plastic waste management market while reducing ecological impact.
