Industry leaders highlight the current challenges facing chemical recycling, distinctions between recycling methods, and the need for tailored technologies and standards.

Researchers at the University of Waterloo have discovered a way to turn plastic waste into acetic acid, the main ingredient of vinegar, using sunlight. The breakthrough offers a promising new approach ...

Abstract: Coal gasification process is characterized by a complex industrial system and high computational cost in simulation. Current gasification optimization studies generally focus on single-modal ...

Porsche AG and BASF SE, in collaboration with technology partner Bioenergy and Sustainable Technologies GmbH (BEST), have completed a pilot project that demonstrates the recyclability of ...

Let’s face it: plastic trash is everywhere. We churn out around 380 million tons every year, yet barely 10% ever gets recycled. The rest? It’s either clogging landfills, floating into oceans or ...

NETL researchers are closing in on a more effective and less expensive way to combine a growing accumulation of plastic waste with coal and biomass for a steam gasification process that can produce H ...

Recycling polyolefin plastics is inefficient and costly because their strong bonds make them hard to break down and require tedious pre-sorting. The future of plastic recycling may soon get much less ...

The HyJoin process is used to attach this plastic cover to a metal housing. Screws or gaskets are not needed. August 16, 2025 Engineers have many options for joining plastic parts to plastic parts or ...

Countries failed to bridge wide gaps on whether the world should limit plastic manufacturing and restrict the use of harmful plastic chemicals. By Hiroko Tabuchi Negotiations over a global plastic ...

Abstract: Plasma-air gasification of polyethylene terephthalate (PET) was studied experimentally and thermodynamically. An analysis of the gasification degree, specific energy consumption, and gas ...

Chris Corps hopes that evolving climate regulations in Canada will create an opportunity for his company to turn waste into profit via gasification technology. Corps, cofounder and CEO of Pivotal IRM, ...

Coal gasification fine slag (CGFS) is a by‐product generated during coal gasification, comprising a heterogeneous mixture of inorganic ash and residual carbon. This material presents both a ...
