The Catalysis Engineering Group at the University of Amsterdam (UvA) has developed a new robust process for the recycling of ...

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 ...

Researchers turned hard-to-recycle plastic into hydrogen using battery acid. This circular upcycling system tackles multiple problematic waste streams at once, the scientists claim.

University of Texas at Arlington engineering professor Sahadat Hossain explains how the unique mix of plastic and asphalt is made. He and a team of students are piloting the sustainable mix on a paved ...

Reinforced plastics, or composite materials, are always more difficult to recycle than other materials such as metals. Nevertheless, Bosch decided to try to reduce the carbon footprint of its power ...

Plastics are inherently dielectrics or electrical insulators, with electrons tightly bound within their covalent polymer chains, preventing the free flow of charge. This property makes them ...

A joint Dutch and Chinese team has successfully converted corn into plastic using a ...
