• More sustainable recycling of plastics
  

  Plastics belong to the most widely used materials, and they are vital components of all modern technologies. So far, it has been possible to recycle these valuable materials only to a limited extent. In order to offer novel solutions, chemists of Professor Stefan Mecking’s group at the University of more

• Upcycling: new catalytic process turns plastic bags into adhesives
  

  While many cities and eight states have banned single-use plastics, bags and other polyethylene packaging still clog landfills and pollute rivers and oceans. One major problem with recycling polyethylene, which makes up one-third of all plastic production worldwide, is economic: Recycled bags end up more

• A first-of-its-kind catalyst mimics natural processes to break down plastics
  

  While plastics recycling is not new science, current processes don't make it economically worthwhile-- waste plastics get "down-cycled" into lower grade, less useful material. It's a challenge that continues to be an obstacle in tackling a growing global pollution crisis in single use plastics. A mu more

• Characterizing Biotherapeutics with HPLC
  

  As demonstrated here, there are a broad range of HPLC applications used in development, production, validation and release of protein therapeutics for more

• New developments in bulk logistics
  

  Trans Ocean flexitanks are designed to transform a standard 20’ ISO container into a non hazardous bulk liquid transport system, which is specifically for one-trip use. The flexitank products are manufactured by Trans Ocean in China, South Africa and more

A Guide to Common Household Plastics

Plastic is everywhere in our day to day lives – but, of course, ‘plastic’ is just a catch-all term for a range of different chemical substances. This graphic takes a look at some of the more common plastics we encounter on a regular basis, and examines their chemical structures. Below, we’ll also ta more
