R&D World: plastics could see second life as biodegradable surfactants Scientists at the Institute for Cooperative Upcycling of Plastics (iCOUP) have discovered a chemical process that provides biodegradable, valuable chemicals
Creating value from plastic waste Polyethylene can be upcycled into alkylaromatic compounds for the production of detergents
A first-of-its-kind catalyst mimics natural processes to break down plastic and produce valuable new products The new catalyst is able to process polymers widely used in things like plastic grocery bags, milk jugs, shampoo bottles, toys, and food containers.
