A groundbreaking discovery led by the University of St. Andrews has found a way to turn ordinary household plastic waste into the building block for anti-cancer drugs. Household PET (polyethylene ...

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 ...

A house built in five days sounds like a promise made for a viral video. Yet modular recycled-plastic bricks are now being ...

Photothermal catalysis, fueled by clean solar energy, offers an efficient solution for converting waste plastic into valuable chemicals. This catalytic process harnesses the power of solar energy and ...

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 ...

Polystyrene, the main material in plastic tableware and insulating materials, is a widely used polymer but is currently difficult to recycle. Reporting in the journal Angewandte Chemie International ...

Tokyo, Japan – Researchers from Tokyo Metropolitan University have developed a new chemical process which upcycles polyesters, including PET in plastic bottles, to morpholine amide, a versatile and ...

CNW/ - Denovia Inc., a leader in next-generation chemical recycling technology, today announced the next phase of ...

image: Inspired by the warming Earth’s greenhouse effect, we design a catalyst architecture that enables waves selectively to pass through. This greenhouse mimic is composed of a carbonized MOF core ...
