Simpler recycling process recovers pure raw materials from acrylic glass without solvents
Source: Phys.org · Published
Large quantities of acrylic glass are used worldwide in a wide range of applications, from windowpanes and car taillights to furniture. The polymer is also known by the brand name Plexiglas. All too often, acrylic glass still ends up as waste, even though it is well suited to recycling.
