This polymer-based soil stabilization method shows potential for stabilizing landslide deposits in complex geological environments, such as southeastern Tibet.

As biomonitors, lichens show how green spaces buffer urban areas from atmospheric microplastic pollution.

These minimalist symbols guide billions of daily decisions, yet their sophisticated design process remains largely invisible to consumers.

E-waste leasing and product-as-a-service models cut electronic waste by improving design, take-back, lease returns, and secure recycling.

Insect farming using mealworms and black soldier fly larvae offers a two-step solution to manage plastic and food waste while reducing microplastics in soil.

A recent study investigated how additives can reduce odor emissions from wood-plastic composites (WPCs), increasing their applicability for indoor use.

Incorporating zeolites into plastic recycling could signal a significant advancement for sustainability.

Study reveals how different microplastics, especially polyamides, strongly adsorb PFAS, shaping pollution risks and remediation strategies.

PVC extends from flexible, RF-weldable coated fabrics to rigid, load-bearing profiles in buildings and flooring systems.

Hyphyn introduces enzyme-driven PVC biodegradation, achieving over 90% breakdown under ASTM D5511; however, real-world landfill validation remains pending.
