E-waste plastics are rarely recycled due to their complex composition and hazardous additives. Scientists at Singaporean Nanyang Technological University (NTU) have developed a new use for e-waste plastics: repurposing them as an alternative to the plastics used in laboratory cell culture containers, such as Petri dishes. The team of NTU Singapore-CEA Alliance for Research in […]
