12-yr-old recycles thermocol using nail polish remover
Anakta Prabhu, a 12-year-old resident of Bhopal, has demonstrated a method of recycling thermocol, a non-biodegradable substance, using nail polish remover. She added thermocol blocks to acetone, a translucent and flammable solvent constituting the remover, and they melted to form a white, clay-like substance. This can then be used to make toys, soap dishes, cups, and other decorative items.
