08 May 2019 --- Scientists from the US Department of Energy's (DOE) Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab) have developed a “next-generation plastic” that can be disassembled into its constituent parts at the molecular level and then reassembled into a different shape, texture and color multiple times without loss of performance or quality. The researchers believe that the new material – called poly(diketoenamine) – can help drive the transition from linear plastic lifecycles to a circular economy.
