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 ...

'Flexible plastic' items like potato chip bags are often thrown away, but can be recycled back into food-grade films using an award-winning COtooCLEAN process. So-called flexible plastics aren’t very ...

Biffa Polymers, based in the United Kingdom, has opened what it claims is the U.K.’s first mixed plastic sorting and processing facility in Redcar, Middlesbrough, U.K. The facility was opened after ...

Advances in materials, tooling, and technology continue to blur the line between the most suitable process and a given application. Thermoforming, of course, can be used to make everything from ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

While millions of tons of plastic are produced in the US each year, only around 9 percent is recycled, and that is largely due to the difficulties around reducing the material to useful building ...
