B.C. engineers study how repurposed plastic bottles could protect landfills
A pair of B.C. engineers have found a new purpose for plastic bottles in a place many would least expect: landfills.
In response to this global issue, UBCO engineering professor Sumi Siddiqua has developed a way that can transform microplastic waste into stabilizing cover materials between the dirt and all that’s dropped in landfills. “This not only solves the solid waste problem but also increases the economic value of waste and encourages its re-circulation back from already polluted lands and oceans.”
