Researchers in Belgium have developed a solar-powered technique that converts plastic waste into acetic acid, the primary component of vinegar. The process relies on a specially engineered catalyst that breaks down plastics at the molecular level using sunlight

Researchers in Belgium have developed a solar-powered method to convert plastic waste into acetic acid, the main component of vinegar.
The process uses sunlight and a specially engineered catalyst to break down plastics at the molecular level.
The team designed a bio-inspired cascade photocatalysis system built around iron single atoms embedded in carbon nitride.
