Full biodegradation of previously indestructible plastics uncovered in new study published by Imperial College London, SIRIM & Polymateria
It is estimated that 32% of plastic (packaging) globally escapes into nature, persists for up to hundreds of years, making its way into our oceans and breaking apart into microplastics
Valorizing Southeast Asian agricultural residues into high-performance mycelium-based biocomposites
Waste streams including sugarcane bagasse, Albizia chinensis woodchips, and cassava pulp can be effectively valorized as feedstocks for the production of high-performance mycelium-based composite materials
Scientists turn one of the world’s most hated plastics into premium lubricant
Polyvinyl chloride, or PVC, is among the most common plastics on the planet but also one of the hardest to recycle responsibly. In a new study in Nature, scientists describe a method to strip chlorine from PVC and convert the remaining material into synthetic lubricant-based oils that perform competitively with commercial products
Coffee grounds can be converted into a raw material for producing biofuels
A URV study has optimised a process to extract oil from spent coffee grounds, enabling the recovery of almost 90% of the yield obtained by other techniques, but with fewer impurities and with the remainder of the biomass able to be repurposed for new uses
New technology could turn dirty factory exhaust directly into useful fuel
Researchers from the Université de Montpellier and Adelaide University have developed a special organic liquid to efficiently convert CO₂ from industrial emissions into carbon monoxide (CO), a key building block used to manufacture fuels and chemicals
