Easy solution
problems of environmental degradation can be ironed out, literally! Christopher Nagel and his team at the Molten Metal Technology in Waltham, Massachusetts, along with Robert Bach, a chemist at the Wayne State University, have arrived at the conclusion that molten iron could do the trick of recycling everything from toxic industrial waste to beer cans. These unwanted materials, which otherwise pollute the eco-system, can then be sourced as re-usable products with no toxic by-products.
