A new chemical process can essentially vaporize plastics that dominate the waste stream today and turn them into hydrocarbon building blocks for new plastics. The catalytic process, developed at 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 ...

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 ...

Supporters say the Recycling Technology Innovation Act, backed by ACC, would streamline permitting and strengthen domestic ...

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 ...

ECOCCUBE uses 100% recycled waste plastic as its core material. WES-Tec Global relies on a proprietary process it calls ...

With the rise of recycled content mandates and extended producer responsibility (EPR) programs, the market for recycled plastics is growing rapidly. Research from Fortune Business Insights projects ...

As plastic piles up in landfills, New York authorities on the state and local levels are shifting their focus from recycling to reduction. Bales of sorted plastic for recycling are seen in a warehouse ...

Current methods to recycle plastics often use expensive catalysts, harsh conditions and produce toxic byproducts. New process converts PET plastic into monomer building blocks, which can be recycled ...

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 ...
