Chemists at Northwestern University are using moisture from the air to depolymerize plastic waste for further plastic ...

These building blocks are as good as the building blocks ... opportunities for packaging manufacturers to access more recycled plastic for a wider variety of end-use applications.

New process converts PET plastic into monomer building blocks, which can be recycled into new PET products or upcycled into higher value materials. In experiments, method recovered 94% of monomers ...

The world produces around 400 million tonnes of plastic each year of which only 9% is recycled. Plastic which does not decompose is a significant driver of climate change and has been found in the ...

Northwestern University chemists have developed a non-toxic, resource-efficient, solvent-free method for breaking down ...
