The breakthrough offers a promising new approach to reducing plastic pollution through photocatalysis, a metabolic pathway ...

Researchers have developed a sunlight-driven process that breaks down common plastic waste and reassembles its carbon into ...

Plastic-infused asphalt can also save money. Because it lasts longer and resists cracking, cities may spend less on repairs and maintenance. In Rockwall, for example, early estimates suggest these ...

Researchers at the University of Waterloo have discovered a way to turn plastic waste into acetic acid, the main ingredient ...

Today, the world is fighting against pollution. Many kinds of NGOs in the whole world are working tirelessly to minimise the ...

A new chemical process can essentially vaporize plastics that dominate the waste stream today and turn them into hydrocarbon building blocks for new plastics. The catalytic process, developed at the ...

Plastic bottles and bags can be vaporised into chemical building blocks and turned into new plastics with all the properties of virgin material. There are hurdles still to overcome, but the new ...

Creality Filament Maker M1 and Shredder R1 turn plastic scraps into new filament reels; recycled filament can cost just $5 ...

Note: Eastman Chemical Company’s first “molecular recycling” facility is now fully operational in Kingsport. It uses a process called methanolysis to reduce hard-to-recycle waste plastic to its ...

Graduate student RJ Conk adjusts a reaction chamber in which mixed plastics are degraded into the reusable building blocks of new polymers. A new chemical process can essentially vaporize plastics ...
