As the world’s reliance on electronics grows, the search for viable solutions to recycle them intensifies. However, electronics can contain a variety of metals that are difficult to separate for proper recycling.
ETH Zurich researchers have recovered the precious metal from electronic waste. Their highly sustainable new method is based on a protein fibril sponge, which the scientists derive from whey, a food industry byproduct.
A research group has found an easier way to collect slightly magnetic particles that contain rare-earth metals from spent fluorescent bulbs.
CARBIOS (Euronext Growth Paris: ALCRB), a pioneer in the development and industrialization of biological technologies to reinvent the life cycle of plastic and textiles, and Landbell Group, a global operator of more than 40 producer responsibility organizations (PROs) and a leading provider of closed-loop recycling solutions, announce the signing of a non-binding Memorandum of Understanding for the sourcing, preparation and recycling of post-consumer PET waste using CARBIOS’ biorecycling technology at its first commercial plant in Longlaville from 2026.
UK-based Mobile Power Ltd (‘MOPO’), the pay-per-use battery technology company, is pleased to announce that it has signed a partnership agreement with Hinckley E-waste Recycling (‘Hinckley’) to facilitate the recycling of its MOPO batteries utilised at its solar powered battery rental hubs in Nigeria (‘the Agreement’).
Every Can Counts, the leading awareness programme for drink can recycling, has announced the launch of its United States chapter, a significant addition that follows closely after its expansion into the United Arab Emirates during COP28 in Dubai.
Researchers from the Oxford Martin Programme on the Future of Plastics, University of Oxford, have outlined ambitious targets to help deliver a sustainable and net zero plastic economy.
Scientists at King’s College London have developed an innovative solution for recycling single-use bioplastics commonly used in disposable items such as coffee cups and food containers.
Amid the COVID-19 pandemic, massive quantities of discarded surgical masks were being disposed of monthly, lacking a comprehensive strategy for proper management.
Researchers employ common plastics to kickstart radical chain reactions, creating a way to reuse plastic waste while improving process safety and efficiency.
