Salut!!
A brief summary of what I’ve been reading lately…
Ground Glass Solution for Cleaner Water
Waste glass has been around us ever since we were born and only a part of these can be recycled and be put into good use. Nichola Coleman from the University of Greenwich in London has managed to develop a simple method of converting waste container glass into the mineral tobermorite. Tobermorite is the main material that can be extracted from glass. It can be used as a filter and absorb toxic lead, cadmium and other toxic metals in water. With the help of this new discovery, a great fraction of waste glass can and will be put to good use and this can also help us take care of mother nature better.

That's all for now!
