The irradiation of polymers produces different effects on the polymers that are beneficial for recycling, reducing and reusing plastic waste.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"text-align: left;\">A new IAEA coordinated research project to develop the use of ionizing radiation in recycling polymer waste is spearheading research in this area.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"text-align: left;\">\u201cIrradiating materials is no longer just a manufacturing tool, but also a recycling tool, so the ionizing radiation techniques used to modify polymers are relevant for plastic waste processing,\u201d said Bin Jeremiah Barba, Science Research Specialist at the Philippine Nuclear Research Institute. Her institute is just 1 of 18 countries, which are collaborating to consider how radiation processes such as cross-linking, chain scission, grafting and other surface modification can help countries to develop more affordable and accessible recycling methodologies.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) is working with experts from all over the world to research and develop ionizing radiation techniques to affordably reprocess and recycle plastics.
