An article recently published in the journal Nature Chemical Engineering presented an in-depth analysis of transport phenomena affecting catalyst effectiveness in chemical polyolefin recycling.
Understanding that sewage sludge dewatering is an important step in wastewater treatment, Flottweg has developed a unique centrifuge concept specifically for the high-level dewatering of sludge—the Flottweg Xelletor series.
Researchers from the University of Waterloo have made a groundbreaking discovery by using 3D imaging to examine microplastics in unprecedented detail.
A study led by Tokyo Metropolitan University professor Kotohiro Nomura and published in Industrial Chemistry and Materials describes how to depolymerize PET (polyethylene terephthalate) using alcohols and an easily accessible, low-cost iron trichloride catalyst.
Hundreds of millions of tonnes of plastic waste are generated worldwide every year. Scientists are working tirelessly on new methods to recycle a large proportion of this waste into high-quality products and thus enable a genuine circular economy. However, current recycling practices fall short of this goal. Most plastic waste is recycled mechanically: shredded and then melted down. Although this process does result in new plastic products, their quality deteriorates with each recycling step.
CSIRO, Australia’s national science agency, and Murdoch University have launched The Bioplastics Innovation Hub, an $8 million collaboration that will work with industry partners to develop a new generation of 100 % compostable plastic. The Bioplastics Innovation Hub aims to revolutionize plastic packaging by developing biologically derived plastic that can break down in compost, land, or water.
The partners seek to accelerate the use of recycled fibers by establishing a technology to separate the fibers from hard-to-defibrate post-consumer fabrics.
Researchers at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign have introduced a Circularity Index that offers a detailed approach to measuring circularity in bioeconomic systems.
Researchers at Aarhus University have discovered a more effective way to recycle polyurethane foam from products like mattresses in a study that was published in Green Chemistry.
