With a new process, ENGEL makes it possible to process plastic waste as flakes in injection molding directly after grinding. Since pelletizing as a separate process step is eliminated, the innovation ...

Dr. Byungwook Hwang's research team from the CCS Research Department at the Korea Institute of Energy Research (KIER) has successfully developed a process that applies the circulating fluidized bed ...

For many years scientists have been trying to reduce carbon footprints and recycle waste material into reusable substances.

Each manufacturing sector has a distinctive set of tools, processes, technologies, and challenges. These differences make it extremely difficult, costly, and time consuming for manufacturers to adapt ...

We know that most plastics thrown into the recycling bin don’t get recycled, but what about the ones that do? According to new research, those also end up spitting bits of plastic back into the ...

A new process to recycle existing plastics indefinitely and reduce the flood of plastics into landfills is being developed by scientists at the University of California, Berkeley. From sandwich bags ...

As the global pollution crisis caused by manufacturing and disposing of single-use plastics continues to grow, researchers ...

PROVIDENCE – Nearly a year ago, state environmental regulators turned away a proposal to build a medical waste-to-energy plant in West Warwick that would use a high-heat process known as pyrolysis to ...

HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) -- For the past two weeks, ABC13 Meteorologist Elyse Smith has covered how the City of Houston manages recycling, specifically looking at how plastic is recycled. And when it ...

University of Adelaide researchers have detailed how solar-driven photoreforming can convert plastic waste into hydrogen and other valuable chemicals at low temperatures. The process uses ...

Chemists have developed a catalytic process that turns the largest component of today's plastic waste stream, polyolefin plastic bags and bottles, into gases -- propylene and isobutylene -- that are ...

Researchers at the University of Adelaide have demonstrated a solar-driven photoreforming process that converts plastic waste ...
