Novoloop is making tons of upcycled plastic

techcrunch.com Tim De Chant 2026-03-06 03:00:00

Plastic has a recycling problem. Only about 9% of plastic gets recycled, and a majority of that waste comes from single use items like plastic grocery bags. It’s partly a design problem — they’re made to be discarded. But it’s also a technology problem because recycling such films isn’t easy, and the results usually aren’t great. Novoloop says it has developed a way to take those troublesome plastics and turn them into something other companies actually want to buy. The California-based startu

LONDON — Amazon will invest £40 billion ($54 billion) in the U.K. over the next three years, the e-commerce titan announced Tuesday. The company said it plans to spend the money on building four new fulfillment centers — large warehouses where it prepares orders for delivery — as well as upgrades and expansions to its existing operations buildings across the country.

Namibia wants to build the world’s first hydrogen economy

But environmentalists are not the only ones who’ve criticized the choice of location. An expanded port, built to facilitate ammonia exports, will sit immediately adjacent to a site that housed a labor and extermination camp during Namibia’s 1904–1908 genocide, in which tens of thousands of Nama and Herero people were killed by German soldiers during a period of resistance to colonial rule. A 2024 report commissioned by Nama and Herero leaders argues that the extension of port infrastructure woul

Are You Replacing Your Contact Lenses Often Enough? Here's What Happens When They Expire

In an age where eye care is accessible, it is easy to take contact lenses for granted, especially in an age where laser correction surgery is widely available. However, those transparent plastic discs you slip into each eye every morning are still a relatively new invention -- and still carry risks if you don't handle them correctly and replace them when needed. It wasn't until almost 1950 that the first modern plastic contact lens were introduced, and disposable contact lenses wouldn't hit the

The Methaphone Is a Phone (That’s Not a Phone) to Help You Stop Using Your Phone

Earlier this year, Eric Antonow was in a coffee shop with his family when he felt the familiar, twitchy urge to reach for his phone. He patted his pockets for relief—the cool, thin slab was still there. He joked to his family that, like an addict jonesing for a hit, he would one day need a medical-grade solution to detox from his phone. Opioid addicts had methadone. iPhone addicts would need … methaphones. “It was a joke, but I got two laughs from my two teenagers, which is gold,” Antonow says.

Trump's Attack May Instead Spur Iran to Speedrun a Nuclear Weapon It Wasn't Building Previously

Trump's Attack May Instead Spur Iran to Speedrun a Nuclear Weapon It Wasn't Building Previously An extremely ironic outcome. Bomb Squad President Donald Trump is trying to derail Iran's nuclear weapons ambitions by bombing its known nuclear research facilities — but it turns out that's easier said than done. US officials have trumpeted that the recent strikes obliterated Iran's nuclear enrichment sites, but satellite images have cast doubt on that claim. And in any case, Trump's bombing camp

How Prehistoric Mammoth Tusks Could Help Bust Modern-Day Ivory Smugglers

Selling elephant ivory—a hard white material from elephant tusks, for which elephants are often killed—is illegal. Selling ivory collected from the remains of extinct Mammoths, however, is—somehow—not. Because the two are hard to tell apart, illegal traders are slipping under the radar by mixing elephant ivory with legally traded mammoth ivory. A new forensic tool, however, might soon put an end to this nefarious trick. Wildlife forensic scientists in China suggest that authorities can differen

They inflated the neighborhood tool shop into a whole city of lumber, hammers, caulk, power saws, and big rolls of wire.

Breakthrough cancer test predicts whether chemotherapy will work

It was piloted using data from 840 patients with different types of cancer and found that it could help spot whether treatment was likely to fail for ovarian, prostate and breast cancers.
