CU chemists say dissolving plastic with electricity could be future of recycling

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 03:44:43 GMT

DENVER (KDVR) -- Chemists at the University of Colorado in Boulder have developed a new way to recycle plastic using electricity.The researchers found a way to deconstruct the molecular analogs of the common plastic polyethylene terephthalate, or PET, into their molecular components, according to a study published earlier this month in the Chem Catalysis journal. Did CSU researchers just find the oldest-known case of cannibalism? PET is found in everyday products like soda and water bottles and polyester fabrics. According to the United States Environmental Protection Agency, less than one-third of all PET plastic in the U.S. was recycled in 2018.Chemists at CU began the study in hopes to find an effective way to recycle PET.“We pat ourselves on the back when we toss something into the recycling bin, but most of that recyclable plastic never winds up being recycled,” Oana Luca, co-author and assistant professor in the Department of Chemistry said. “We wanted to find out how w...

Injunction blocking Florida law targeting drag shows applies to all venues, judge says

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 03:44:43 GMT

ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) — A federal judge said Wednesday that his order blocking a Florida law targeting drag shows doesn’t just apply to the restaurant that brought the lawsuit challenging it but to other venues in the state, reiterating that the legislation championed by Gov. Ron DeSantis is likely unconstitutional.A state agency that would enforce the law had asked U.S. District Judge Gregory Presnell to put on hold his preliminary injunction stopping the law from being enforced until a trial is held to determine its constitutionality while the state of Florida appeals the injunction.Attorneys for Florida told the judge that the preliminary injunction should only apply to the Orlando restaurant that sued seeking to get the law ruled unconstitutional and not “nonparties” to the complaint.The judge rejected that argument, saying any harm to the state of Florida is minimal if the preliminary injunction remains in place, and that all Floridians are potentially parties since free spe...
