Events of recent years have obviously seen thousands of tons of used surgical masks dumped every month without a real vision of how to manage them. Although the world appears to have passed through this period, a serious industrial eco-solution must be developed to deal with the waste. Researchers are investigating the possibilities of plasma gasification as an eco-friendly technique to convert surgical mask waste into clean energy products.

Plymouth Marine Laboratory writes Our new study investigates what happens when biodegradable plastics enter the ocean, and whether these increasingly popular alternatives to conventional plastics are safer for marine ecosystems, or whether they come with their own risks. When the first full synthetic plastic was invented in 1906 – over 100 years ago – widespread use of the material for consumer products soon arose in the post-war period.

With the first wave of the energy transition, renewable energy sources (such as solar and wind) have begun replacing coal power generation. However, some sectors are lagging behind and struggling to decarbonize more than others, including large-scale transportation like commercial aviation, shipping, and rail transit. Electrofuels (aka eFuels) are the next generation of solutions to help the hardest-to-abate sectors pivot from their reliance on fossil fuels.
