Home-sorted recycling produces higher-quality plastic bales with fewer contaminants, finds study
Home-sorted recycling produces higher-quality plastic bales with fewer contaminants, finds study Gaby Clark Scientific Editor Robert Egan Associate Editor The quality of recycled plastic tends to be higher when the waste is pre-sorted by households compared with plastics recovered from mixed waste at a recycling facility in the Netherlands, research in Nature suggests. While mixed waste (not pre-sorted) collections may increase overall recycling volumes, this comes at the cost of reduced...

A lot of 'recycled' plastic is being burned overseas—and causing widespread pollution linked to health problems
A lot of 'recycled' plastic is being burned overseas—and causing widespread pollution linked to health problems Lisa Lock Scientific Editor Andrew Zinin Lead Editor Picture a pile of trash the size of Manhattan and taller than one and a half Empire State Buildings. That's how much plastic waste the world is predicted to be generating every year by 2050 if nothing is done to change course. It's easy to think of recycling as the solution, but the vast majority of plastic waste now ends up in...
Recovery of plastic from mixed waste boosts recycling rates but affects quality
Nature, Published online: 03 June 2026; doi:10.1038/d41586-026-01759-3Recovering plastic packaging from mixed domestic waste, as well as collecting plastic waste already sorted by households, increases recycling volumes but raises contamination and safety risks. Policies that support the sorting of plastics from mixed waste at central facilities should have strict quality standards and investment in advanced purification systems to ensure safe recycling outcomes.
Eight metabolic niches reveal how ocean microbes recycle carbon worldwide
Eight metabolic niches reveal how ocean microbes recycle carbon worldwide Stephanie Baum Scientific Editor Robert Egan Associate Editor The ocean is full of invisible workers. Trillions of microbes quietly break down carbon-containing organic matter, which helps to regulate Earth's climate. But scientists have long struggled to understand how different microbes contribute to the process.
