Single-use plastic might just be the most insane act of collective self-harm humanity commits every single day. Each year, the United Nations Environment Programme estimates that we discard a ...
Researchers used 3D imaging technology to understand the fine details of microplastics, paving the way for more effective methods of plastic waste recycling. In a global first, University of Waterloo ...
In an effort to change this, researchers at the Eindhoven University of Technology have been using "AI-enhanced" models to ...
Almost 80% of plastic in the waste stream ends up in landfills or accumulates in the environment. Scientists have now developed a technology that converts a conventionally unrecyclable mixture of ...
The adoption of any new policies such as bottle bills, reuse systems, EPR or certain food packaging bans could reduce disposal by 10% to 20% by 2040. Such changes could influence new jobs and ...
The new method converts waste plastic into pyrolysis oil, which contains valuable olefins used in various industries. This process offers an opportunity to derive high-value alcohols worth up to ...
A pair of robust and inexpensive catalysts can help recycle mixtures of polyethylene (PE) and polypropylene (PP), two of the most common and intractable types of plastic waste (Science 2024, DOI: ...
A team from Louisiana State University is reporting a “potential breakthrough” and estimates a new electromagnetic induction heating approach could save “billions of dollars.” A team from Louisiana ...
Researchers have used a low-emissions method to harvest hydrogen and graphene from waste plastics. They say it not only solves environmental problems like plastic pollution and greenhouse gas ...
For decades, the fossil fuel industry has urged recycling as an alternative to bans or cuts in the single-use plastic filling world landfills and oceans. Now, with the annual U.N. Climate Change ...
