Researchers at Case Western Reserve University are working on a simple way of turning scrap thermoset plastics into new thermosets with similar properties. Their process involves mixing scrap ...

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 ...

The new technique can help break mixed-fiber clothing back down into feedstock for future textiles. Less than 1% of clothing is recycled, and most of the rest ends up dumped in a landfill or burned. A ...

Plastic bottles and bags can be vaporised into chemical building blocks and turned into new plastics with all the properties of virgin material. There are hurdles still to overcome, but the new ...

Researchers at the Beckman Institute for Advanced Science and Technology have introduced a greener option for chemical manufacturers. Their electrochemical approach offers a solution to the ...

French environmental services provider Veolia is leading a research project which is aimed at developing a highly efficient and special process for the recycling of solar modules. Through the ...

MIT spinout and battery maker 24M Technologies today debuted a new direct-material battery recycling process for EV batteries and battery storage. Cambridge, Massachusetts-based 24M Technologies, ...

Working since 2017 with Tokyo's Waseda University, Nissan says it has developed and recently started testing a new recycling process that represents a more efficient and cost-effective way of ...

A new study from the Department of Materials Engineering (MatE), Indian Institute of Science (IISc) describes a rapid method to recycle a commonly used plastic while preserving its desirable ...

XDD Textile takes pre-consumer waste collected from the mill’s partner garment factory to be regenerated and respun into good-as-new cotton. This recycled cotton is derived from the cuttable wastage ...

(Nanowerk News) Imagine a typical recycling plant. Now imagine that the plant is a chemistry lab, and the crushed soda cans and waist-high stacks of junk mail have been replaced by microscopic ...
