Researchers have used a low-emissions method to harvest hydrogen and graphene from waste plastics. They say it not only solves environmental problems like plastic pollution and greenhouse gas ...

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 ...

Plastic waste surrounds daily life, from food containers and grocery bags to shampoo bottles and medical supplies. Much of it ends up buried or drifting into ecosystems because recycling it is slow, ...

Researchers have found a way to harvest hydrogen from plastic waste using a low-emissions method that generates graphene as a by-product, which could help offset production costs. Hydrogen is viewed ...

Pacific Northwest National Laboratory has found a new method to convert waste plastic into raw materials and fuel. The new process is conducted at low temperatures and with high yield, reducing the ...

The new method converts waste plastic into pyrolysis oil, which contains valuable olefins used in various industries. This process offers an opportunity to derive high-value alcohols worth up to ...

Each year, billions of single-use plastic bottles end up in landfills or oceans. That waste problem keeps growing. Now, a new scientific breakthrough suggests those same bottles could help power your ...

Chemical and environmental engineers detailed a method to convert plastic waste into a highly porous form of charcoal that has a whopping surface area of about 400 square meters per gram of mass. It ...

Single-use plastic might just be the most insane act of collective self-harm humanity commits every single day. Each year, the United Nations Environment Programme estimates that we discard a ...
