How biodegradable microplastics affect agroecosystems
In recent years, biodegradable plastics have been considered a potential alternative to traditional plastics. However, researchers remain uncertain about the difference in impact on the agricultural sector and whether it is more beneficial than traditional plastics. The team of researchers investigated these questions by examining two types of microplastics: traditional microplastics, polypropylene (PP) and polyechen […]
Niobium-based carbon recycling can reduce industrial emissions
The new project is set up to ensure a future supply of niobium, a non-critical but rare and important metal and an essential component of carbon recycling technology. The closed-loop carbon recycling approach pioneered by the University of Birmingham and Brazil-based CBMM could fundamentally reduce emissions from energy and carbon-intensive basic industries. CBMM will work […]
