WASHINGTON: Plastic trash may one day help people fly as researchers have found a way to turn daily plastic waste products into jet fuel.
“There is a lot of hydrogen in plastics, which is a key component in fuel,” said Hanwu Lei, Associate Professor at the Washington State University in the US.
To produce jet fuel, the researchers melted plastic waste at high temperature with activated carbon.
“This is a very good, and relatively simple, way to recycle these plastics,” Lei said.
