NUTEC Plastics in 1 Minute

11 June 2025

Plastic is a fact of modern life, but while plastic waste is causing huge damage to our environment, it can also be a valuable resource. Radiation technology is able to streamline plastic recycling. It can improve plastic sorting techniques and allow waste to be upcycled into valuable and marketable products, thus providing economic incentives to encourage more plastic recycling, helping to keep used plastic out of the world’s soils and seas.
