A University of Leicester academic has led a study which appears to find that plastic pollution is changing the way riverbeds behave. Plastic particles in waterways affect the way sediment moves along sandy riverbeds, says the group, comprising Dr Catherine Russell, plus colleagues from Leicester, the University of Loughborough, and Penn State University in the US.

Unlike glass, which is infinitely recyclable (well okay, maybe not exactly ), plastic is challenging and expensive to recycle because of the material’s complex molecular structure designed for specific needs. A recent project appears to advance understanding of what happens to plastic during pyrolysis, and gives a sense of the challenges and possibilities inherent in this approach to plastic recycling.

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.
