For the very first time, a WSU research team has developed a promising method that will help recycle the popular carbon fiber plastics used in everything from sporting goods and modern airplanes to the wind energy industry.
The average American goes through roughly 70 pounds of clothing each year, creating approximately 21 billion pounds of clothing sent to landfills – five percent of all landfill waste, according to the Council for Textile Recycling.
DBA the Eco Connect Bottle® System is a patented container coupling technology that utilizes a precise exclusive recess molded into the bottle base to enable empty bottles to be firmly connected to each other, and different types of functional connector pieces to construct several useful household items like desks, tables, trash bins, storage cubes, toys, and even building insulation.
The oceans in the world are littered with vast amounts of plastic waste. At present, a new technique has been developed by a PhD organic chemist and a sailboat captain to enable the recycling of specific plastics, converting the useless wastes into a priceless diesel fuel by means of a small mobile reactor.
Pollution created by making and dyeing clothes has pitted the fashion industry and environmentalists against each other. Now, the advent of "fast fashion" -- trendy clothing affordable enough to be disposable -- has strained that relationship even more. But what if we could recycle clothes like we recycle paper, or even upcycle them? Scientists report today new progress toward that goal
Researchers from UPM and CSIC have employed waste from the agri-food industry to develop biomaterials that are able to act as matrices to regenerate bone and cartilage tissues, which is of great interest for the treatment of diseases related to aging.
A idea to simplify electronic waste recycling was recently proposed by a team of researchers from Rice University and the Indian Institute of Science. They recommend crushing the electronic waste into nanodust.
A team of researchers at The Ohio State University report that food waste can partially replace the petroleum-based filler that has been used to manufacture tires for over a century.
VTT Technical Research Centre of Finland examined, as part of the EU's Reffibre project, whether new industrial applications could be developed for various types of sludge and fly ash generated by the paper and board industry.
Phones, tablets, electric vehicles, and several other applications are powered by rechargeable lithium ion batteries. Unfortunately, the batteries are typically only functional for two to three years, and the devices that they power can fail.
