One of world’s most persistent waste materials can be turned into high-performance structure
One of the world’s most persistent waste problems, plastics are durable and difficult to recycle. Developed by researchers ...
Plastics normally bound for the landfill are getting a new life from California startup Novoloop. The company upcycles polyethylene, a plastic that’s widely used but rarely recycled. With $11 million ...
Besides climate change, which is mostly the result of our carbon dioxide (CO 2) emissions, plastic pollution stands as one of the most critical environmental concerns of this decade. The sheer ...
An inexpensive catalyst can convert common commercial polymers to low molecular mass hydrocarbons under mild conditions, according to a new study. The advance may lead to cost-effective ways to ...
When it comes to the characterization of polymers, the PerkinElmer Pyris™ DSC 9 allows for simple, robust solutions for differentiating between grades of the same polymer by utilizing known thermal ...
Scientists have discovered that waxworm caterpillars can break down polyethylene plastic, one of the most common and persistent pollutants on Earth. These “plastivores” metabolize plastic into body ...
A single pellet of recycled plastic can contain over 80 different chemicals. A new study with researchers from University of Gothenburg and Leipzig shows that recycled polyethylene plastic can leach ...
