Researchers developed a catalyst-free recycling method that uses only water and oxygen to break down durable plastics such as ...

A new chemical process can transform three of the most common plastics into high-purity hydrogen without sorting them first. The technique operates at much lower temperatures than traditional ...

Dr. Byungwook Hwang's research team from the CCS Research Department at the Korea Institute of Energy Research (KIER) has successfully developed a process that applies the circulating fluidized bed ...

Researchers have developed a process that may help advance plastic waste recycling. A team of scientists from the University of Pittsburgh have optimized a low-cost process called pyrolysis to ...

What if we could help the global plastic waste problem and the transportation industry with the same technology? A team of scientists from the U.S. Department of Energy's Ames National Laboratory is ...

This approach is far more carbon- and energy-efficient than conventional methods, according to the researchers.

Because most recycling processes require plastics to be sorted by type first, only 9% of discarded plastic is actually recycled; 79% is dumped in landfills and another 12% is incinerated, releasing ...

We know that most plastics thrown into the recycling bin don’t get recycled, but what about the ones that do? According to new research, those also end up spitting bits of plastic back into 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 ...

Processing efficiency will be a key focus for some exhibitors at MD&M West, set for Feb. 4 to 6, 2025, at the Anaheim Convention Center in Anaheim, CA. The event is North America's largest annual ...

A new process to recycle existing plastics indefinitely and reduce the flood of plastics into landfills is being developed by scientists at the University of California, Berkeley. From sandwich bags ...
