Canon sorting tech brings black plastics into the recycling mix
Posted by ArielTechGeek 314 days ago (https://newatlas.com)
Black plastics pose an identification problem for sorting machines at recycling facilities, as the sensors can't see them. Canon has developed a system that users lasers and tracking tech to identify and sort plastic trash on the conveyor belt, no matter its color.Continue ReadingCategory: Environment, ScienceTags: Canon, Plastic waste, Recycling
Recycling cigarette butts may reduce biodiesel production costs
Posted by ArielTechGeek 518 days ago (https://newatlas.com)
In an effort to drive down the production cost of biodiesel, researchers have developed an eco-friendly way of extracting triacetin, a combustion-enhancing additive, from an abundant waste source: cigarette butts. Recycling cigarette butts in this way would not only dispose of waste but put it to sustainable use.Continue ReadingCategory: Environment, ScienceTags: Biodiesel, Sustainability, Eco-Fr
Ultraviolet light could hold the key to recycling disposable diapers
Posted by ArielTechGeek 552 days ago (https://newatlas.com)
Disposable diapers are a huge source of global waste, largely because they're difficult to recycle. A new process, however, could salvage the "superabsorber" polymer utilized in the liners of those diapers – and yes, even if they're soiled.Continue ReadingCategory: Environment, ScienceTags: Karlsruhe Institute of Technology, Waste, Recycling, Ultraviolet

Plant-based PCB substrate breaks down in water for easier recycling
Posted by ArielTechGeek 637 days ago (https://newatlas.com)
Our appetite for new gadgets is resulting in a huge e-waste problem, with just a fraction of the 50 million tonnes of tech thrown away each year being recycled. Looking to tackle a significant part of the problem, the UK's Jiva Materials has developed a PCB substrate that breaks down in water for easier recovery of materials. The startup is now partnering with European manufacturers to demo and e
