A new chemical process can essentially vaporize plastics that dominate the waste stream today and turn them into hydrocarbon building blocks for new plastics. The catalytic process, developed at the ...

Plastic is everywhere. From water bottles and food containers to household items and packaging, modern life depends heavily ...

Graduate student RJ Conk adjusts a reaction chamber in which mixed plastics are degraded into the reusable building blocks of new polymers. A new chemical process can essentially vaporize plastics ...

What once choked the skies could soon shape the future of plastic production. In a breakthrough that edges carbon capture closer to circular economy goals, scientists at Caltech have developed a ...

Slow progress, procedural confusion and reluctance to address issues like hazardous chemicals in plastic products, they warned, have put the negotiations in a “challenging situation.” NAIROBI: Global ...
