Scientists have developed a process using discarded car battery acid and solar reactors to break down PET bottles and polyurethane foam into clean hydrogen. This chemical process transforms plastic waste and toxic acid into high-value organic chemicals for industries, providing a functional way to recycle complex materials while generating carbon-free fuel.
