Engineers from the University of Bath and Worcester Polytechnic Institute in Massachusetts , US , say their technique could be the first to make recycling polystyrene both economically viable and energy efficient.

The new technique uses a chemical process called pyrolysis to break down parts of the material into parts which can be reformed into new pieces of material.

Creating one kilogram of new material requires less than 10 megajoules of energy.
