-UK researchers develop new method of recycling plant-based plastics
Researchers from the University of Bath and the University of Birmingham have developed a new way of recycling plant-based plastics instead of letting them rot in landfills.
The new method converts plastics into their constituent chemical molecules, potentially enabling products to be recycled repeatedly without reducing the quality.
The researchers used lower temperatures and more environmentally friendly catalysts compared with earlier methods.

-New natural colourants can be part of a bigger ‘natural’ story, says PolyOne
PolyOne used the PCD cosmetics packaging show in Paris, France, this week as a springboard not only to launch its OnColor Naturals range of colourants derived from plants and minerals but also to emphasise how these additives can be advantageously combined with other materials such as sugarcane-derived biopolymers.
The new colourants are formulated using a range of plant, flower, root and mineral extracts, and were especially well-received by visitors to the show from the cosmetics and personal care sector, said PolyOne.Fabric Carbon Fiber RePackaging
-S-Oil sees refining profit margins rebounding
South Korean refiner S-Oil expects profit margins in its core refining business to recover this year after plunging to a decade low in last year’s final quarter, with the implementation of new International Maritime Organisation (IMO) marine fuel rules and an easing of US-China trade tensions accelerating demand growth.
Global demand growth for refined fuels will rise to 1.23mn b/d in 2020, outpacing a 1.03mn b/d increase in refining capacity, S-Oil said.
Demand growth slowed to less than 1mn b/d last year and was overtaken by a 1.39mn b/d gain in refining capacity.Fabric Carbon Fiber RePackaging

-New Process Turns Carbon-Based Trash Into ‘Wonder Material’ Graphene
Scientists have developed a new technique for turning almost any carbon-based rubbish – from banana skins to car tyres – into graphene flakes, a process that may provide hugely positive environmental impacts.Fabric Carbon Fiber RePackaging
The ‘flash graphene’ technique is quick and cheap, and involves heating up waste products to 3,000 Kelvin (2,727 degrees Celsius or 4,940 degrees Fahrenheit). That breaks the carbon bonds inside the target materials, which are then reconstructed as graphene in mere milliseconds.
Not only does this give us ways to make use of trash that would otherwise get thrown away, but it’s an efficient and inexpensive way of producing graphene, which can then be used in a variety of eco-friendly ways.
