Researchers publishing in ACS Sustainable Chemistry & Engineering have rewired one such microorganism to help combat greenhouse gases in the environment.
As the world moves towards renewable energy sources in pursuit of decarbonization, one of the principal methods being implemented is hydropower. The ability to generate electrical power using falling water to turn a turbine will continue to play a major role in clean energy production.
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.
EcoCortec® is the European subsidiary of Cortec® Corporation, located in Croatia. Our anti-corrosion and bioplastics manufacturing facility is committed to innovation and sustainability, contributing to the circular economy through the use of high amounts of recycled content. EcoCortec® recently launched revolutionary EcoSonic® VpCI®-125 PCR HP Permanent ESD Films and Bags, made with a guaranteed 30 % post-consumer recycled content of high, consistent quality.
Beam Global, a leading provider of innovative and sustainable infrastructure solutions for the electrification of transportation and energy security, announced the City of Pueblo, Colorado has deployed Beam Global EV ARC™ off-grid, solar-powered electric vehicle (EV) charging systems for use both by the general public and city fleets.
FPT Industrial, the Iveco Group brand dedicated to the design, production, and sale of low-environmental impact powertrains, is taking its commitment to sustainability and carbon neutrality to the next level. Conscious of the responsibilities deriving from being a leading manufacturer of engines, the Brand has decided to take the path of sustainability in vehicle and marine propulsion, as well as in power generation, in a global and factual manner.
ABB today announced that it has signed an agreement to acquire Födisch Group, a leading developer of advanced measurement and analytical solutions for the energy and industrial sectors.
EDP Renewables (EDPR), a global leader in renewable energy development, has collaborated with Microsoft to decarbonize Microsoft’s operations through a 20- year agreement.Microsoft will purchase 100 percent of the renewable energy exported to the grid from EDPR’s SolarNova 8 project, comprising up to 200 MWp of capacity.
For the fifth consecutive year, the Plastics Technology Centre presented its sustainability report in which it takes stock of its activity in 2023 in accordance with GRI standards.
