Old CDs recycled into valuable plastic
When I first saw this article about recycling CDs (polycarbonate polymers), I was hopeful that we would get a new lab for material science. The above diagram, however, isn't exactly a step-by-step procedure.
And the full text of the article isn't available without a subscription.
I do appreciate the attempts to further our recycling options for plastics, however, as I find myself throwing out a lot of CDs because they can't easily be recycled in single-stream recycling programs.
Of course, there are other options than throwing the CDs out...
