In the journal Angewandte Chemie, a research team from the Friedrich Wöhler Research Institute for Sustainable Chemistry in Göttingen introduced a novel approach for recycling polystyrene waste. Their electrochemical process is effective, uses a cost-efficient iron catalyst, generates hydrogen as a byproduct, and can be powered by solar energy.
The world is currently confronting significant environmental challenges due to plastic waste. A research team at KAIST has developed a microbial-based biodegradable plastic that has the potential to replace polyethylene terephthalate (PET) bottles, representing a notable breakthrough.
Researchers at the University of Massachusetts Amherst have discovered a novel method for identifying per- and polyfluoroalkyl compounds (PFAS) in water. This represents a significant advancement in developing testing tools that are easier to use, more affordable, quicker, and more widely accessible than current techniques.
BPDI, a novel spectral index, identifies beach plastic using satellite data, improving detection and supporting effective cleanup and environmental strategies.
A recent study published in Environmental Science and Technology by researchers at the University of Plymouth examined the impact of traditional polyester fibers and two bio-based fibers—viscose and lyocell—on earthworms, which play an essential role in maintaining soil health worldwide.
Innovative biochar pellets from UIUC show promise in reducing phosphorus runoff, offering a sustainable solution for farmers and improving environmental health.
Scientists have developed a new material capable of capturing the harmful chemical benzene from the polluted air, offering a potential solution for tackling a major health and environment risk.
Researchers from the University of Birmingham have explored the environmental impact of microplastics and PFAS, demonstrating that their combination can be highly detrimental to aquatic organisms.
