Researchers use a novel process involving engineered Escherichia coli to turn plastic waste into levodopa, a frontline ...

A radical new process “vaporizes” plastic bags and bottles to help make recycled materials. American scientists say the innovative chemical procedure turns ubiquitous waste items into hydrocarbon ...

Scientists at the University of Edinburgh have successfully transformed common plastic waste into a high-value precursor for Parkinson’s disease medication.

Scientists engineer E. coli to convert PET plastic bottle waste into L-DOPA, a primary treatment for Parkinson’s disease.

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 Edinburgh have engineered Escherichia coli bacteria to convert a chemical building block of ...

They often require careful customization to address the unique challenges of each application. Variations in recycled feedstock compositions, differences in processing techniques and diverse ...

Note: Eastman Chemical Company’s first “molecular recycling” facility is now fully operational in Kingsport. It uses a process called methanolysis to reduce hard-to-recycle waste plastic to its ...

What if we could help the global plastic waste problem and the transportation industry with the same technology? A team of scientists from the U.S. Department of Energy's Ames National Laboratory is ...

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 ...

Cruise ships generate as much as eight tons of waste per vessel each week, with plastics from packaging, food containers, and single-use items accounting for a significant share, according to 4Ocean.
