Building and breaking plastics with light: Chemists rethink plastic recycling

What if recycling plastics were as simple as flicking a switch? At TU/e, Assistant Professor Fabian Eisenreich is making that vision a reality by using LED light to both create and break down a new class of high-performance plastics. This innovative material enables truly circular recycling, as this process can be repeated over and over again, without any loss in quality.
