• Chemists develop radical way to make it easier, more profitable to recycle plastic
  

  The United States generates more plastic trash than any other country – about 46.3 million tons of it -- or 287 pounds per person a year,according to a 2020 study.   The country’s 9% rate of recycling will never keep up. Why so low? The chemistry of today’s plastics makes most difficult to recycle. more

• Plastics could see a second life as biodegradable surfactants
  

  Scientists at the Institute for Cooperative Upcycling of Plastics (iCOUP), an Energy Frontier Research Center led by Ames Laboratory, have discovered a chemical process that provides biodegradable, valuable chemicals, which are used as surfactants and detergents in a range of applications, from disc more

• A mild way to upcycle plastics used in bottles into fuel and other high-value products
  

  Plastic is ubiquitous in people's lives. Yet, when plastic-containing items have fulfilled their missions, only a small amount is recycled into new products, which are often of lower quality compared to the original material. And, transforming this waste into high-value chemicals requires substantia more
