A new study conducted by researchers from the University of Delaware and Argonne National Laboratory describes a chemical reaction that can convert Styrofoam into a high-value conducting polymer known ...

The results are impressive: They report a record- high yield of nearly 66% of the plastic waste converted into chemicals that can be used for fuels. Using 3D printing to build the structure allowed ...

We’ve managed to accumulate so much plastic trash that it’s daunting to think about what could be done with the tons upon tons of nonbiodegradable waste. And as much as we are trying to scale back our ...

Sunlight, water, and air may soon replace fossil-fuel-driven chemistry in producing hydrogen peroxide, one of the world’s most essential industrial molecules.

Researchers have come up with an innovative approach to improve the energy efficiency of carbon conversion, using waste material from pulp and paper production. The technique they've pioneered not ...

Electronic waste is surging globally, challenging recycling systems. Tech recycling 2025 and sustainability tech initiatives ...

Led by aerospace engineering professor Scott R. White, researchers at the University of Illinois have developed heat-triggered self-destructing devices, meant as a new approach to reducing electronic ...

Scientists in Germany have successfully turned urine into bio-concrete, as part of a project aiming to revolutionize sustainable construction by creating building materials from waste. The research ...

Researchers have found that concrete can be made 30% stronger by replacing a percentage of sand with spent coffee grounds, an organic waste product produced in huge amounts that usually ends up in ...
