In a world of continuously warmer temperatures, a growing consensus demands that energy sources have zero, or next-to-zero, carbon emissions. That means growing beyond coal, oil, and natural gas b .
Researchers at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory have discovered a novel, low-temperature way to convert waste plastic into a gasoline-like fuel and raw materials
Grocery bags, used face masks, and food wraps potentially contain plenty of useful raw materials in them. But it has been much more economical to keep manufacturing more of these one-time-use plastics than to undertake recovery and recycling processes of those items.
A plastics recycling invention that achieves more with less, which was presented today at the American Chemical Society fall meeting in Chicago, boosts conversion to useable products while utilizing less of the rare metal ruthenium.
