Every year, 400 million tons of plastic products are produced worldwide, half of which are single-use items discarded within a year. In particular, non-biodegradable plastic waste, which takes over ...

Today’s plastic grocery bag could be tomorrow’s high-tech track suit, thanks to fabric made from polyethylene—the same polymer that is used to make plastic wrap. Analyses suggest that the fabric could ...

Bio-PE is derived from biological sources like sugarcane instead of petroleum. The manufacturing process begins with extracting ethanol from sugarcane, which is then dehydrated to produce ethylene, ...

A new Europe-focused study reveals that polyethylene (PE), the most widely used packaging material in Europe, has lower life cycle global warming potential (GWP)—often used to assess greenhouse gas ...

Figure 2: Schematic of experimental set-up used to measure the thermal properties of a single ultra-drawn nanofibre. In nanofibres, the defect density will decrease, because inherently larger defects ...
