This study quantifies plastic recovery from over 100 Japanese river basins, revealing key insights for enhancing cleanup initiatives and addressing pollution.
Every year, INTEGRA makes a donation to a worthy cause, and at the start of 2024, the company partnered with CleanHub to help fund its plastic collection projects in developing countries.
Petrochemical facilities' emissions are linked to 1,500 premature deaths in 2020, raising concerns about environmental justice and community health risks.
According to researchers at Kaunas University of Technology (KTU), bioplastics will make little difference unless synthetic plastics are used responsibly.
Innovative recycling technique uses carbon black and sunlight to convert black polystyrene waste into reusable materials, promoting a circular economy.
Researchers at the RIKEN Center for Emergent Matter Science have developed a new type of plastic that is durable yet environmentally friendly. Unlike traditional plastics, this biodegradable material breaks down in seawater, preventing ocean pollution.
A research group has introduced an innovative citric-acid-based method for extracting, isolating, and recovering metals from NCM cathodes. NCM refers to a layered oxide composed of nickel, cobalt, and manganese, with lithium ions intercalated between the layers.
A recent machine learning study by Samuel Pottinger and colleagues predicts that, without intervention, global plastic waste could double by 2050. However, simulations from the study suggest that a combination of policy interventions could reduce plastic waste by over 90 % and cut emissions related to plastics by one-third.
In the journal Angewandte Chemie, a research team from the Friedrich Wöhler Research Institute for Sustainable Chemistry in Göttingen introduced a novel approach for recycling polystyrene waste. Their electrochemical process is effective, uses a cost-efficient iron catalyst, generates hydrogen as a byproduct, and can be powered by solar energy.
The world is currently confronting significant environmental challenges due to plastic waste. A research team at KAIST has developed a microbial-based biodegradable plastic that has the potential to replace polyethylene terephthalate (PET) bottles, representing a notable breakthrough.
