Young researchers want to recycle plastic waste in space

10 July 2018, Germany, Rostock: The high school students Adrian Schorowsky (L-R), Leni Termann and Lara Neubert demonstrating their project "ReUse in Space" in which plastic is recycled on the International Space Station (ISS). In the process, a 3D printer can be created with the accumulated plastic waste aboard the ISS. The 18-year-olds have won the "Jugend Forscht" competition with this idea and are now presenting their project to representatives of the airbus space sector.
