Chemists have developed a catalytic process that turns the largest component of today's plastic waste stream, polyolefin plastic bags and bottles, into gases -- propylene and isobutylene -- that are ...

University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, and University of California, Santa Barbara researchers teamed with Dow to develop a breakthrough process to transform the most widely produced plastic — ...

Researchers at the University of Adelaide have developed a solar-driven technique that transforms plastic waste into hydrogen and other valuable chemicals, aiming to tackle both pollution and clean ...

University of Adelaide researchers have detailed how solar-driven photoreforming can convert plastic waste into hydrogen and other valuable chemicals at low temperatures. The process uses ...

For years, recycled plastic claims have been shrouded in secrecy, difficult to verify, and often challenged as misleading.

In phase 1, specific microorganisms, like bacteria and fungi, colonize the surface of the plastic material. These microorganisms can either be present naturally in the environment or added ...

Only a small percentage of plastic bags and other polyethylene packaging is recycled because only low-value products can be made from this waste. Chemists have created a catalytic process that ...
