Much of the U.S. uses single-stream recycling, where plastic, glass and paper go into one bin. Here’s what happens to that ...

Researchers are experimenting with using static electricity and other techniques to separate the components of ...

Recycling massive wind turbine blades can be difficult because they're built from sturdy materials to weather the elements ...

One promising mechanical method for recycling mixed plastics is to incorporate a chemical called a compatibilizer. Compatibilizers contain the chemical structure of multiple different polymers in ...

An independently reviewed Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) published today finds Ascend Elements’ innovative Hydro-to-Cathode® ...

This gives rubber its durability and elasticity. Traditional recycling techniques struggle with these challenges. Pyrolysis, one of the most widely used methods, involves heating rubber at high ...

A team of scientists at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill has developed a groundbreaking chemical recycling method that could offer a cleaner, more sustainable solution to the ...

Current recycling methods for fiber-reinforced plastic involve a shredding step, which shortens the fibers and leads to a downcycling. Crash course in materials science: thermosetting vs.

One promising mechanical method for recycling mixed plastics is to incorporate a chemical called a compatibilizer. Compatibilizers contain the chemical structure of multiple different polymers in ...
