most-used materials for making many of the things we use in our everyday lives.</span> <span data-start-time='11354' data-end-time='19292'>Things made of plastic can be very strong and last a long time.</span> <span data-start-time='19292' data-end-time='24875'>They also do well in extreme heat and cold.</span> <span data-start-time='24875' data-end-time='33729'>Plastic is also much lighter than metal and can easily be formed into different shapes.</span> <span data-start-time='33729' data-end-time='43396'>This makes the material ideal for countless uses across many different industries.</span> <span data-start-time='43396' data-end-time='53938'>But the widespread use of plastics across the world is causing major problems for the environment.</span> <span data-start-time='53938' data-end-time='63667'>Plastic material is flooding landfills and causing severe damage in the world&rsquo;s oceans.</span> <span data-start-time='63667' data-end-time='70729'>Plastics can take hundreds of years to break down on their own.</span> <span data-start-time='70729' data-end-time='75125'>Very few kinds are highly recyclable.</span> <span data-start-time='75125' data-end-time='80063'>This is because of the way plastics are formed.</span> <span data-start-time='80063' data-end-time='92604'>It has been estimated that even the most reusable kinds of plastic can only be recycled at a rate of 20 to 30 percent.</span> <span data-start-time='92604' data-end-time='106979'>Even when recycling is possible, the process is costly, can use a lot of energy and, in many cases, produces poor-quality materials.</span> <span data-start-time='106979' data-end-time='122958'>But a team of researchers working at the U.S. Department of Energy says it has created a kind of plastic that could lead to products that are 100 percent recyclable.</span> <span data-start-time='122958' data-end-time='132354'>The team works at the Department of Energy&rsquo;s Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory in California.</span> <span data-start-time='132354' data-end-time='140542'>It recently reported the discovery in a study in the journal Nature Chemistry.</span> </p></div><div class='control-buttons-sticky' style='display:none;'><div class='control-buttons'><button title='Back' class='back' disabled='disabled'></button><button title='Play'
