Chemical Engineering college students Joelle Kazan, Charles Der Boghossian, and Christy Abou Saab, together with Assistant Professor Dr. Elias Feghali at Notre Dame College-Louaize (NDU) have developed a brand new revolutionary chemical recycling technique to scale back plastic waste.
In collaborations with the AUF, College of Ottawa, Aix-Marseille College, and VITO, the 4 Lebanese college students have led efforts to the event of recycling strategies to decompose waste polymers into purposeful supplies.
NDU acknowledged that using polymer supplies causes tens of millions of tons of plastic waste yearly, including, that over time, researchers have been working to transform waste plastics into worthwhile assets.
“Nonetheless, most moldable recycling strategies nonetheless depend on mechanical processes which might be restricted to comparatively pure polymers,” the college’s press added.
Final month, researchers from NDU developed a plant-based different to the Lebanese Labneh. Utilizing peas, lupin, and beans, the researchers initiated this venture in response to Lebanon’s increasing vegan meals market.
