Picture this: a 21-year-old backyard scientist in Alabama, Julian Brown, sweeps away some dirt and leaves from his homemade solar- and generator-powered, 10-magnetron-powered pyrolysis microwave ...

DULUTH, Ga. (WTVM) - A 22-year-old inventor is gaining viral attention for what he calls “Plastoline,” a fuel he says is made from plastic waste. Julian Brown says he uses a process called microwave ...

Methods that don't employ a catalyst, though, tend to have low rates of converting the waste into products of use. For this project, the researchers found a way around both of these obstacles and ...

[naturejab] shows off his solar powered pyrolysis machine which can convert scrap plastic into fuel. According to the video, this is the world’s most complex hand-made pyrolysis reactor ever made. We ...

Plastics are valued for their durability, but that quality also makes them difficult to break down. Tiny pieces of debris known as microplastics persist in soil, water and air and threaten ecosystems ...

Yale researchers unveiled a 3D-printed carbon column reactor that can convert 66% of polyethylene plastic into fuel chemicals without costly catalysts. The breakthrough addresses major efficiency and ...

The healthcare sector is generating a growing volume of single-use plastic waste. One in particular, saline container waste, is causing concern, as these containers are made from non-biodegradable ...

As tons of plastic waste continue to build up in landfills every day, Yale researchers have developed a way to convert this waste into fuels and other valuable products efficiently and cheaply. The ...

Ali Kamali, a doctoral candidate in chemical and biomolecular engineering at the University of Delaware, inspects a sample of liquid fuel created from plastics. He is part of a UD-led research team ...

“Plastic production has sharply increased over the last 70 years. In 1950, the world produced just two million tonnes,” according to the website Our World in Data. That figure grew to over 450 million ...
