We so enjoyed this collaboration with @dr_jah_director to create a plastic sorting educational activity, which was largely the work of PhD student @HerreraRonard.
In the May issue of #JCE #JChemEd (, a new article discusses a hands-on activity designed to illustrate the sorting process for recycled waste and how important this is to sustainability: #supplementarycovers

You've probably seen bins where you can recycle your plastic. But what happens to that plastic bottle after you drop it in?
