Chemical engineering researchers at the University of Waterloo have joined forces to take on a pressing environmental problem by using synthetic biology to turn plastic waste into valuable resources.
A drug to treat Parkinson's disease can be made from waste plastic bottles using a pioneering method, a study shows. The approach harnesses the power of bacteria to transform post-consumer plastic ...
Scientists engineer E. coli to convert PET plastic bottle waste into L-DOPA, a primary treatment for Parkinson’s disease.
They say one man’s trash is another man’s treasure, or in this case, therapeutic, as a pioneering method turns waste plastic ...
A new process that converts PET plastic into monomer building blocks, which can be recycled into new PET products or upcycled into higher value materials. Harnessing moisture from air, Northwestern ...
Reinforced plastics, or composite materials, are always more difficult to recycle than other materials such as metals. Nevertheless, Bosch decided to try to reduce the carbon footprint of its power ...
Modern joining technologies support complex geometries, miniaturization and integrated functionalities in plastic assemblies. Advanced process control and validation tools enable higher confidence, ...
What if plastic waste could be turned into something useful? That dream may soon become a reality, as scientists have found a way to turn plastic into acetic acid using sunlight. Plastics and ...
