There, in a class called Climate and Energy Ventures, he met Jan-Georg Rosenboom, a postdoc who had developed a chemical ...

Current methods to recycle plastics often use expensive catalysts, harsh conditions and produce toxic byproducts. New process converts PET plastic into monomer building blocks, which can be recycled ...

The Environmental Protection Agency is reconsidering whether facilities that recycle plastic chemically should be held to the ...

Waste isn’t new, and neither is humanity’s role in creating it. Since the dawn of industrialization, our ability to pollute has scaled alongside our innovations. In 1862, British inventor and ...

A breakthrough method for chemically recycling acrylic—one of the world's most widely used plastics—has been developed by researchers at the University of Bath. In contrast to conventional mechanical ...

Gaps still remain. We need to continue strengthening infrastructure and aligning efforts across public and private sectors ...

Flotation separation techniques have emerged as a promising solution to the escalating challenge of plastic waste recycling. By utilising the inherent differences in plastic surface properties, ...

It's commonly believed that recycling plastic waste on a large scale will have a positive impact on the environment, but the ...

A new process that converts PET plastic into monomer building blocks, which can be recycled into new PET products or upcycled into higher value materials. Harnessing moisture from air, Northwestern ...
