According to Towards chem and Materials consultants, the global polyolefin market volume reached 241.98 million tons in 2025 ...

Polyolefin pipes, such as those made of polyethylene (PE) and polypropylene (PP), are common plastics used in a wide range of products, from everyday items like grocery bags, carpets, containers ...

However, some plastics, particularly polyolefin plastics like PE and PP – widely used commodity plastics that account for nearly 60% of the world’s plastic production – are notoriously ...

Researchers have developed a new process to take plastic bags, vaporise them, and then convert the extracted materials to make a new set of recycled plastics. The basis of the technology is a ...

In this interview AzoM speaks with Venkat Nandivada, Manager of Technical Support at Master Bond Inc., about the challenges and considerations for successful bonding of polyolefins with adhesives, ...

Process converts polyethylene bags, plastics to polymer building blocks Catalysts disassemble polymer while adding ethylene, producing propylene, the building blocks of polypropylene Date ...

While some polyolefin items (like milk jugs) can be recycled, many of them (including sandwich bags) cannot be, and those that are eligible for recycling don't always end up in the right bin.

Polyolefins are resistant to breaking down, making them hard to recycle. Scientists have now discovered a yeast, Yarrowia lipolytica, that uses hydrocarbons derived from polyolefin plastic wastes ...
