MATERIALS: How to turn carbon dioxide into plastic: Project wants partners to scale up onto an industrial stage

摘要

A Europe-wide project to investigate methods to convert carbon dioxide into plastics has been launched at this year's K Fair in Dusseldorf. Project EnCO2re currently involves a dozen research partners, including Imperial College London and Oxford University, in seven countries. The recent launch marks the point at which it is ready to work with industrial partners to scale up processes that are currently only in laboratories.
