Researchers at the University of Waterloo report a sunlight-driven process that uses single-atom iron anchored to a support ...

Scientists at University of Edinburgh engineered bacteria to convert plastic bottles into L-DOPA, a Parkinson's medication, ...

The breakthrough offers a promising new approach to reducing plastic pollution through photocatalysis, a metabolic pathway ...

Neste has processed liquefied waste plastic (e.g. pyrolysis oil) since 2020. The construction of the new upgrading facility and its integration to the existing oil refinery began in 2023 and was ...

Researchers engineered a two-strain microbial system that converts PET-derived terephthalic acid into levodopa, overcoming key bottlenecks in transport and enzyme inhibition. The proof-of-concept ...

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 ...

Scientists have discovered how to turn used plastic bottles into a drug to treat Parkinson’s disease. Researchers at the University of Edinburgh genetically engineered bacteria ...

Scientists engineer E. coli to convert PET plastic bottle waste into L-DOPA, a primary treatment for Parkinson’s disease.

Plastic is one of the most durable materials humans have ever made. That durability has made it indispensable in medicine, ...

Note: Eastman Chemical Company’s first “molecular recycling” facility is now fully operational in Kingsport. It uses a process called methanolysis to reduce hard-to-recycle waste plastic to its ...

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 ...
