      • ProblemTechnology

      "Recycling mixed plastics is a massive problem - it's hard to separate different types of plastic, which makes it difficult to recycle them effectively. This means that a lot of plastic ends up in landfills, polluting the environment."

      Solution

      "Interface Polymers has developed a technology called Polarfin® that makes it easier to recycle mixed plastics. Their additives help different types of plastics stick together, making it easier to process them in a recycling plant. This means that more plastic can be recycled and less ends up in landfills."
