PP increase was influenced by prices for polymer-grade propylene monomer feedstock. PP prices had climbed 5 cents in July and ...

Plastic tube manufacturing plays a crucial role in producing versatile durable and convenient packaging solutions for a wide range of products Whether for cosmetics pharmaceuticals or household items ...

The catalytic process, discovered by researchers at UC Berkeley, efficiently reduces polymers to chemical precursors, bringing a circular economy for plastics one step closer to reality.

A radical new process "vaporizes" plastic bags and bottles to help make recycled materials. The innovative chemical procedure ...

The group has devised a catalytic recycling process that breaks apart the chains of some of the more commonly used plastics — polyethylene and polypropylene — in such a way that the building ...

Polyethylene and polypropylene plastics are. The new process breaks down these plastics, also referred to as polyolefins, into their basic molecular building blocks and allows them to be turned ...

the component of most single-use plastic bags, and polypropylene, the stuff of hard plastics, from microwavable dishes to luggage. According to the findings published in the journal Science ...

Researchers at UC Berkeley have developed a new catalytic process that can vaporize the polyethylene (single-use bags) and polypropylene (hard plastics) that dominate trash piles, converting them ...

Polypropylene recycling firm says its facility has ramped up to handle up to 5 tons per hour and 100 tons per day of discarded plastic. “The facility has continued to show progress in the key ...

But the volume of polyester plastics is minuscule compared to that of polyethylene and polypropylene plastics, referred to as polyolefins. "We have an enormous amount of polyethylene and ...

the component of most single-use plastic bags; and polypropylene, the stuff of hard plastics, from microwavable dishes to luggage. It also efficiently degrades a mix of the two types of plastics ...
