The project proves the feasibility of post-consumer waste becoming a valuable feedstock, thus creating a circular economy for polystyrene. The project also included a commercial and an ecological ...

Engineers have modelled a new way to recycle polystyrene that could become the first viable way of making the material reusable. The team of chemical engineers, based at the University of Bath in the ...

Plastics are inescapable in our daily lives. The vast amounts of plastic garbage heaped in landfills and in the environment, however, are as problematic as the plastics are useful. A research team has ...

A team of chemical engineers based at the University of Bath in the United Kingdom and Worcester Polytechnic Institute in Massachusetts are developing a technique for recycling polystyrene (PS) that ...

Currently, the main method for recycling polystyrene yields a product that is often too low-quality to make the process economically viable. In other words, if a recycling plant tries to recycle ...

GreenMantra and Ineos Styrolution have signed a Joint Development Agreement (JDA), which will align GreenMantra’s patented technology and Ineos Styrolution’s manufacturing infrastructure to convert ...

Expanded polystyrene (EPS), also known as polystyrene foam, is a versatile and lightweight plastic. One key market for EPS is in packaging, where it’s used widely for take-out foodservice and to ...

Scientists assessed changes in the gut microbiome of superworms (Zophobas morio) in a new study. The University of Queensland Researchers in Australia have identified enzymes in the gut of certain ...
