MIT scientists developed a way to turn discarded plastic into strong building materials, with recycled composites already used in a 40-foot bridge

• PC: AI GeneratedA new MIT-backed company is turning discarded plastic into structural parts for buildings and infrastructure.
• Atlas Building Composites has developed an AI-powered robotic manufacturing platform that shreds single-use plastic, melts it, and fuses it with American-made fiberglass.
• The resulting composite is then formed into parts such as foundations, decks, and trusses using large-scale 3D printing.
