The U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Argonne National Laboratory has signed a memorandum of understanding with the National Electrical Manufacturers Association (NEMA), an organization that represents energy storage manufacturers across the U.S. Under the memorandum, the two organizations will cooperate on developing recycling standards for lithium-ion batteries based on their design.
Recyclable plastic has been recorded on popular beaches and urban watercourses in Adelaide, South Australia – highlighting the need for more efforts to remove and reuse all plastics from waste streams, particularly in urban areas.
The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) recently declared funding of $25 million for 10 research projects. The projects are aimed at setting scientific foundations for new technology solutions to reuse thrown-away plastics to create useful products and decrease plastics waste.
Swedish Plastic Recycling (Svensk Plaståtervinning), which is owned by a large part of the Swedish business community, is now investing heavily in building the world's largest and most modern facility for plastic recycling, Site Zero.
Environmental health experts at Flinders University are advancing research into a highly sustainable wastewater recycling program by developing a cost-effective way to harvest microalgal biomass for use in biofuels and other applications.
The Earth’s deepest diamonds are commonly made up of former living organisms that have effectively been recycled more than 400 kilometres below the surface, new Curtin research has discovered.
Researchers in the BOTTLE Consortium, including from the U.S. Department of Energy's National Renewable Energy Laboratory and the University of Portsmouth, have identified using enzymes as a more sustainable approach for recycling polyethylene terephthalate, a common plastic in single-use beverage bottles, clothing, and food packaging that are becoming increasingly relevant in addressing the environmental challenge of plastic pollution.
Researchers from the Ural Federal University and the Institute of Metallurgy of the Ural Branch of RAS together have devised and successfully tested the method of joint non-waste processing of electric furnace and ladle slag.
Small electronics such as fitness trackers and smartwatches cannot be dismantled and recycled easily. Whenever a new model is launched, the old ones are dumped into the hazardous waste streams.
Collaborative research by the Southwest Research Institute (SwRI) and The University of Texas at San Antonio (UTSA) aims to integrate two catalytical processes into a single reactor. The focus of the research is to recycle carbon from CO2 to create low-cost hydrocarbon fuels.
