A radical new process “vaporizes” plastic bags and bottles to help make recycled materials. American scientists say the innovative chemical procedure turns ubiquitous waste items into hydrocarbon ...

Researchers at Northwestern University have built a solid-state electrolyzer that converts carbon monoxide from plastic waste gas into ethylene, one of the most widely used chemical building blocks on ...

Imagine taking heaps and heaps of earth-polluting, unusable plastic waste and actually transforming it into something constructive? Plastic pollution is a proliferating and increasingly overwhelming ...

Chemists at UC Berkeley said they have created a new laboratory process that could represent a major step forward in recycling plastic products — from single-use bags commonly found in grocery stores ...

Tucson officials broke ground Wednesday on a new facility that will transform plastic waste into construction-grade building material. The city’s deal with ByFusion will result in a 10,000 square-foot ...

Plastic recycling struggles today, but chemical, biological, and AI-driven breakthroughs could unlock true circular reuse and reduce global plastic waste.

Despite being one of our most useful day-to-day tools, glass is a material that's rarely recycled due to complicated logistics. That's why researchers at the University of Portsmouth and their ...
