German Scientists Transformed Plastic Into Diamonds, A Novel Feat That Presents A Unique Opportunity For Recycling Plastic Waste 

However, by creating nanodiamonds from PET plastic, companies will be able to sell these novel and luxurious commodities at a much higher price point.

So, with more financial incentives to dive into the recycled plastic sector, companies might be more inclined to start clearing the waste from our oceans.

Of course, figuring out how to streamline the researchers’ PET plastic compression process to produce enough marketable diamonds would be the next challenging step in this potential environmental solution.

Regardless, though, the mere possibility of converting such abundant plastic waste into a highly valued item is something everyone, from scientists to ordinary community members, can get excited about.
