James Taylor, Co-Founder of the French startup Capillum spoke to ELN about a hair recycling initiative, which extracts keratin from waste hair to use it for soil and water decontamination

The amount of microplastics recorded was 25 times higher than previous underwater studies, according to a report

The innovation could be used in large-scale industrial recycling processes and ‘could create a revolution’ in the treatment of plastic waste

It will enable the company to intensify the development of polyolefins-based circular solutions used in a wide range of applications in consumers products, packaging and power transmission cabling

The project will process animal fats from Europe and used cooking oil to produce sustainable aviation fuel and renewable diesel

The facility will have the potential to produce the equivalent of approximately 4.2 billion food grade beverage bottles made of 100% recycled and recyclable PET plastic annually

The hydrogen hotel in Kawasaki City, Tokyo, creates hydrogen from waste plastics to supply about 30% of the energy the hotel needs

The cumulative amount of plastic in the ocean is forecast to reach 600m tonnes by 2040, equivalent in weight to more than three million blue whales

The work for the project is expected to be finalised by the end of 2023
