Particulate carbon is an efficient absorber of microwaves and can transfer this thermal energy to adjacent materials. If the adjacent material is organic, such as plastic or paper, it breaks apart (or pyrolyses) into smaller pieces; if the material is a metal attached to the plastic or paper, the metal can be recovered in a clean form after the attached organics are pyrolysed.

This wonder material is composed from a single layer of carbon atoms arranged in a honeycomb-like structure; but stack enough of these sheets together and you end up with common graphite, just as you can find in your pencil. So what is it that makes graphene such a fascinating material?
