Recycling plastics has many environmental and economic advantages. With dwindling global supplies of oil, recycling offers a powerful means of reducing the amount of petroleum (currently standing at around 8%of global production) required to manufacture plastics, the production
recycling is also a powerful tool. But recycling faces many challenges. The complex structure of plastic polymers makes the mixing of different plastics difficult
or can result in weaker materials, and requires greater amounts of energy in the production process.
and so, together, energy recovery and recycling use up more than half of the Union's plastic waste. Going with the flow The variability in the quality of inputs also leads to major fluctuations in the viscosity,

Through research and development, B-PET has improved the process of waste recycling for use in 3d printing. The company recycled PET has the same properties as virgin PET but costs up to 70%less.
But, because polymers and plastics are so cheap to manufacture the economic benefit of recycling can be marginal.
which enables multiple recycling and a high rate of capture of the target molecules, said lead author Ximin He, Assistant professor of Materials science and engineering at Arizona State university and formerly a postdoctoral research fellow in Aizenberg group at Harvard.

whether consumers should pay for all of the recycling costs. Some argue that retailers and manufacturers should pay for part of it to hold accountable all involved parties.
The current proposal places the recycling fee at the retail level and it is likely that retailers will simply charge the extra cost to consumers.

of life-a cellular recycling unit with a role in many diseases. The proteasome complex is present in all multicellular organisms,
Blocking the proteasome prevents this regulated recycling of amino acids and triggers controlled cell death, particularly in fast-dividing cells typical of cancer.
