Chemical recycling, also known as advanced recycling, encompasses a group of technologies that break down the molecules in waste to produce raw materials. This process enables the conversion of difficult-to-recycle plastics, such as multi-layered or contaminated materials, back into "virgin-like" feedstocks that can be used to create new chemicals ...

The United Kingdom, despite having relatively high rainfall and water availability compared to many other countries, faces water stress primarily because of climate change, which has changed rainfall patterns and caused droughts. During the 2022 drought, some UK water utilities implemented an unprecedented hosepipe ban. Droughts are expected to bec...
