UV Radiation Could be the Key to Recycling Disposable Diapers Efficiently

Earth Science, Environmental Science /

Disposable diapers contribute significantly to the world’s waste problem, primarily due to their challenging recyclability. Nevertheless, there is a fresh method that can recover the “superabsorber” polymer used in the diaper liners, even when they are soiled. Ultraviolet light presents a promising avenue for revolutionizing the recycling of disposable diapers, addressing the pressing environmental concerns […]
