  • Source of Widespread PFAS Contamination Discovered in North Carolina

    Environmental chemists from Duke University have solved the longstanding mystery surrounding the source of the high PFAS levels contaminating water sources in a North Carolina region. The contamination was traced back to a local textile manufacturing plant by analyzing sewage samples around Burlington, North Carolina. read more

  • Mechanochemical Method Uses Collisions to Sustainably Recycle PET

    Polyethylene terephthalate (PET) is a durable plastic used throughout the world for bottles, food packaging, and even clothing fibers. While its durability has led it to be the worlds most widely used plastic, that very same durability makes it difficult to efficiently recycle. read more

  • Novel System Offers Climate Solution Using Coffee and Plastic Waste

    Researchers have patented a novel technology which uses spent coffee grounds (SCG) along with polyethylene terephthalate (PET) waste to form a highly effective CO2 adsorption material. Thanks to the availability of the raw materials required for the system, the novel tech provides an affordable approach to carbon capture. read more

  • Study Discovers Common Bacterium Capable of Absorbing PFOA

    Engineers from the University of Nebraska have discovered a promising new ally in the fight against PFAS in the form of a common photosynthetic bacterium. The work represents a new potential pathway towards using microbial systems as a low-impact, scalable solution to PFAS contamination. read more

  • High Pressure System Enables Profitable Carbon Capture

    In a recently published article, researchers from King Abdullah University of Science and Technology have revealed a novel system which converts carbon dioxide into industrial grade ethylene, a commodity essential to plastics, textiles, and construction. The work demonstrates a significant step forward in green chemistry by transforming greenhouse gas emissions into valuable products. read more

  • Mixed Plastic Recycling Made Possible Through Inexpensive New Catalyst

    Chemists from Northwestern University have developed a new process which can drastically reduce, or even completely bypass, the time-consuming process of pre-sorting mixed plastic waste. Thanks to an inexpensive new nickel-based catalyst, the method can even selectively break down single use polyethylenes and polypropylenes which are responsible for almost two-thirds of worldwide plastic consumption. read more
