一项由美国科学家们发起的研究表明,到2015年为止,人类共生产了约83亿公吨的塑料制品,其中约有63亿吨转化为塑料垃圾。世界经济论坛曾预计,到2050年,海洋中的塑料垃圾将多于鱼类,可见解决塑料废品已经成为社会的一大难题。科学家们可谓是绞尽脑汁想要将这一“公敌”充分利用起来。上海有机化学研究所的研究员们正在研究将塑料垃圾“变废为宝”。研究员在接受CNBC采 A study by U.S. scientists shows that by 2015, about 8.3 billion metric tons of plastic products have been produced by humans, of which about 6.3 billion tons have been converted into plastic garbage. The World Economic Forum had predicted that by 2050, there will be more plastic garbage in the oceans than fish. Therefore, solving the problem of plastic waste has become a major social problem. Scientists are racked their brains to make the best use of this “public enemy.” Researchers at the Shanghai Institute of Organic Chemistry are researching how to “turn rubbish into rubbish” on plastic garbage.
