IBM Researchers Discover a Way to Create Highly Recyclable Plastic

Although we are finding ways to replace and reduce our use of plastic, it's hard to get away from something that has ingrained itself into our day-to-day lives. But with IBM's plant-based plastics, that may all change.

IBM researchers, headed by Chandrasekhar Narayan, announced recently that they have discovered a way to create highly recyclable plastic by using organic catalysts. These plant-based plastics will not only help our environment, they are also extremely cheap to produce.
