Researchers at IIT Bombay developed an instrument named GolDN for mechanically recycling waste plastic polymers through ___________.

Correct option is B

• GolDN (Graphene oxide Liquid-phase exfoliation based Dynamic Nanocomposites) aims to improve plastic recycling efficiency.
• It helps in reinforcing polymer structures, making recycled plastics more durable.
• This technology plays a crucial role in reducing plastic waste pollution.

• Shredding: Involves cutting waste plastics into small pieces before further processing.

  • Used as an initial step in plastic recycling.

• Pyrolysis: A process where plastic waste is heated in the absence of oxygen to produce fuel.

  • Used for converting plastic waste into oil, gas, or charcoal but requires high energy input.

• Compression: Involves applying pressure to form plastic products.

  • Mostly used in molding processes to shape plastics into specific forms.
