New way to create fuel from waste plastics

The new method involves mixing the plastics with an organometallic catalyst, made from readily available molecules that were then doped with metal iridium. (Reuters) Scientists have found a way to use plastic trash to create a cleaner diesel-like fuel that could power vehicles, an advance that may turn landfills into potential energy sources in future.
The researchers from the Chinese Academy of Sciences and University of California in the US hope to scale up the technique to allow for it to be
