Researchers have developed a system that can transform plastic waste and greenhouse gases into sustainable fuels and other products.

Designers Reiten Cheng and Swaleh Owais developed a unique device that’s capable of turning discarded plastic water bottles into 3D filament

Researchers at Princeton Engineering have found a way to turn your breakfast food into a new material that can cheaply remove microplastics.

Scientists designed a new material system to overcome one of the biggest challenges in recycling consumer products: mixed-plastic recycling.

‘Like conductive Play-Doh’: breakthrough new material could point way to new class of materials for electronics and devices.

Around the planet, evidence of plastic pollution stretches from grocery bags in the deep sea to microplastics in our food supplies.

The new method more efficiently converts plastics to valuable commodity chemicals—a process termed “upcycling” that produces less methane.

Microplastics, tiny particles of plastic that are now found worldwide in the air, water, and soil, are increasingly recognized.

Researchers have now demonstrated how the carbon atoms in mixed waste can replace all fossil raw materials in the production of new plastic.

Scientists at Bath found that incorporating sugar units into polymers makes them more degradable when exposed to UV light

For our sake and the environment, there is a considerable amount of research into the reduction of plastic for many and various applications

Styrofoam egg cartons and many other common products are composed of polystyrene, a type of plastic that makes up a third of landfill waste.

Scientists have developed a new type of coating that, when applied on a plastic surface, prevents fogging and ‘self-cleans’

A research team has now introduced a new method for the production of protein-based plastics that are easily processable and biodegradable.

A pair of Rens’ first-generation ‘Original’ shoes contain 300 grams of coffee waste, the equivalent to 21 cups.

It's very difficult to tell the difference between different types of plastics, and this is what makes it difficult to separate and recycle.

Plastics found in electronic waste (e-waste) are rarely recycled due to their complex composition and hazardous additives.

The number of microbial enzymes with the ability to degrade plastic is growing, in correlation with local levels of plastic pollution.
