About 2 billion tons of waste are discarded every year, a number that is growing annually, the equivalent to the weight of 10 million airplanes. When this waste is buried in landfills, the organic ...

Researchers at Concordia University have found a way to use red mud, a waste product of aluminum production, to help turn low-quality clay and dredged sediment into useful ingredients for lower-carbon ...

We've seen fungi being used to create useful new materials for construction, fire-retardant building insulation, and even 3D-printed batteries. One of the researchers behind that last doozy, Dr.

Finding effective and valuable solutions for agricultural waste management has been an inspiring challenge for researchers. By-products from monocultures, such as residues from soybean production, ...

The world’s current linear processes don’t just sap the planet’s finite materials—they also produce tons of greenhouse gas emissions and waste, a considerable part of which can be prevented.

A team at RMIT University has created a cement-free construction material using only cardboard, soil, and water. Strong enough for low-rise buildings, it reduces emissions, costs, and waste compared ...

The handling and disposal of hazardous materials waste represents a critical responsibility within any scientific or research environment. A robust hazardous materials waste program is not merely a ...
