EC report highlights how a lack of harmonised indicators and quality assurance procedures are a barrier to industry adopting a more sustainable approach to the whole life cycle of buildings

This is coming at a time Nigerians are battling high cost of food and rising inflation, as protesters have taken to the streets.

Over the last few years, Life Cycle Assessments (LCA) have seen increased adoption, particularly among enterprise-level companies, emerging as a critical technology for measuring and reducing the environmental impact of products and processes.

A company co-founded by a University of Bath graduate has opened the UK’s first pilot plant that can recycle up to 60% of plastic lab waste, to make back into new lab consumables. LabCycle hopes t ...

If we look at all of the business sectors in Germany, industry requires the largest amount of water. This makes access to efficient technology for cleaning and recycling water all the more important for this sector in particular. Ideally, this technology should also allow energy and valuable raw materials to be retrieved so that they can be reused in production. In order to address all of these issues in a practical way, researchers at Fraunhofer have been developing a testing and technology pla...

Many biodegradable polymers are only compostable under industrial circumstances, but scientists at the University of Bath have discovered a technique to break down plastics using just UV light

Numerous plastics that are termed biodegradable are not compostable under industrial conditions. However, researchers at the University of Bath have currently discovered an approach to breaking down plastics with the help of UV light.

A team of researchers at the University of Bath’s Centre for Sustainable and Circular Technologies (CSCT) has developed a new and simple method for upcycling plastic waste at room temperature.
