The future of plastic recycling may soon get much less complicated, frustrating, and tedious. In a new study, Northwestern University chemists have introduced a new plastic upcycling process that can ...

A study out of Scotland has found that the plastic recycling process produces large quantities of microplastics, which then get washed into city water systems or the ocean.

KIMM’s research team has succeeded in developing the world’s first ultra-high-temperature plasma torch powered entirely by ...

That process is called mechanical recycling, in which recycling is sorted to separate the plastic. Then, the plastic is chopped, melted in an extruder, and shaped in an injection molder.
