    Scientists have developed a new recycling process that can reduce plastic waste. Each year, millions of tons of plastic bottles, boxes, and wrapping are thrown away and create huge piles of waste that are difficult to dispose of. The new method mixes all types of plastic waste together, heats it to over 400 degrees Celsius, melting it into a waxy substance that can then be used to produce new plastic products. This process may help address the large problem of plastic waste by reusing old plastic to make new materials.
