Researchers have developed a solar-powered reactor that transforms hard-to-recycle plastic waste into clean hydrogen ...

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.

Specifically, the researchers are using a method known as pyrolysis, a process of using heat in the absence of oxygen to molecularly break materials down. In this case, it's used to break plastics ...

University of Texas at Arlington engineering professor Sahadat Hossain explains how the unique mix of plastic and asphalt is made. He and a team of students are piloting the sustainable mix on a paved ...
