A study conducted by CNRS researchers describes a new method of recycling silicone waste (caulk, sealants, gels, adhesives, cosmetics, etc.). It has the potential to significantly reduce the sector's ...

Single-use plastic might just be the most insane act of collective self-harm humanity commits every single day. Each year, the United Nations Environment Programme estimates that we discard a ...

The rise of electric vehicles is a critical part of the move away from fossil fuels and the "greening" of transport. However, it isn't without its environmental challenges, one of the major issues ...

A new recycling technique developed in China claims to capture 99.99% of the lithium in spent electric vehicle batteries, a level of recovery that would have sounded fanciful only a few years ago. By ...

For years, the arguments against renewable power focused on its high costs. But as the price of wind and solar plunged, the arguments shifted. Suddenly, concerns about the waste left behind when solar ...

A research team is tackling the environmental issue of efficiently recycling lithium ion batteries amid their increasing use. A research team at Rice University led by James Tour, the T.T. and W.F.

How can electronic waste, also known as e-waste, be recycled without resulting in negative environmental impacts that are often produced with traditional e-waste recycling methods? This is what a ...

A research team has developed a method to recycle valuable metals from electronic waste more efficiently while significantly reducing the environmental impact typically associated with metal recycling ...

Researchers from the Fraunhofer Institute for High-Speed Dynamics, Ernst-Mach-Institut, EMI have developed a technology that makes it possible to reclaim continuous carbon fibres from composite ...

A team from Australia’s University of New South Wales (UNSW) in Sydney reported being able to recover silicon, silver and tin from PV cell layers. The method recovered the majority of silver (Ag) (70 ...
