Nylon-6
Scientists at Northwestern University in the US claim to have created a groundbreaking catalyst that efficiently breaks down nylon-6 within minutes, without producing harmful by-products. The process, developed by US researchers, offers a clean and rapid solution to decomposing nylon-6 without the need for toxic solvents.
The newly developed catalyst marks a significant advancement in the potential recycling of nylon-6 waste. Researchers believe this breakthrough can serve as a crucial initial step in repurposing nylon-6 waste into new products, addressing environmental concerns associated with nylon disposal and contributing to a more sustainable approach to waste management.
The innovation holds promise for a more eco-friendly and efficient method of dealing with nylon-6 waste, presenting a cleaner and faster alternative to existing processes while avoiding the generation of harmful substances during decomposition.
