Rethinking plastics – the new alternative to current plastic materials is born from CO2
Fortum capture the carbon dioxide released during waste incineration and mix it with hydrogen, creating base chemicals such as methane or methanol, which can then be further utilised as raw materials for plastics
BIOFAST helps reduce the time taken for biodegradation tests on bioplastics in composting environments
The BIOFAST Project not only demonstrated an effective reduction in the time taken to perform biodegradation tests applied to bioplastics, but also generated significant economic and environmental impact
Interview with the Renewable Carbon Plastics Magazine on PEF, Avantium’s FDCA flagship plant and the PEF World CongressKurita America and Solugen to Develop New Carbon-Negative Products for Industrial Water Treatment
One of the recently developed product lines is the Tower NG series of cooling products, which replaces most of the traditional water treatment chemistries and Solugen’s proprietary biodegradable corrosion inhibitor
New Meta-Study Highlights That Hydrolysis Prevents the Formation of Persistent PLA Microplastics in the Environment
A systematic review of published scientific literature conducted by HYDRA Marine Sciences finds that in the presence of water or humidity, the bioplastic polylactic acid (PLA) will fully hydrolyze, and no persistent nano- or microplastics will remain or accumulate in the environment
The future of the chemical industry, plastics and recycling at the Renewable Materials ConferenceStartup aiming to reduce plastic reliance joins Cornell incubator
Generally food containers are made from polyethylene (PE) or perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl (PFAS), and other plastics, to line packaging - but about three years ago, Thomas and Ryan Scheel, the founders of RETRN Bio, imagined a better source: biological components
