As the use of electronic devices continues to rise, the management of electronic waste (e-waste) has become a critical issue. Printed circuit board (PCB) recycling methods are generally classified ...

Plastics found in electronic waste (e-waste) are rarely recycled due to their complex composition and hazardous additives, but scientists have now developed a new use for them -- by repurposing them ...

A team led by Cornell researchers has devised an innovative method to recover gold from electronic waste and repurpose it as a catalyst for converting carbon dioxide (CO 2) into organic compounds.

The global plastic waste crisis remains one of the most pressing environmental challenges in science. Now, researchers are developing innovative ways to turn non-recyclable plastic into high-value ...
