RE: They turn old CDs, packaging, and LEGO pieces into a material capable of absorbing water from the air/Convierten viejos CD, envases y piezas de LEGO en un material capaz de absorber agua del aire
Incredible innovation in circular engineering has been made by researchers, who managed to turn scrap plastic like old CD's, packaging, and LEGOs into a "molecular sponge," that can solve two global crises, namely pollution and water shortages.
This process skips the usual polymer-deconstruction-step, and uses the aromatic rings in the plastic to absorb the water from the air. Solar water-making from trash is truly an innovation of the century!
