Novoloop is making tons of upcycled plastic

techcrunch.com Tim De Chant 2026-03-05 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

Without any work projects to fill her days, she picked up the novel Roots, by Alex Haley, to reread.

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

gizmodo.com Margherita Bassi 2026-03-05 11:00:57

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

Even if you enjoy cooking, waiting for a pot of water to boil is probably one of the things you'd rather not have to deal with. And yes, the more you watch it, the slower it boils -- that's just science. But did you know that some ways of heating a pot are quicker than others? They can be better for other reasons, too. Using an electric stove can take longer than you'd like, making a gas range the preferred choice -- not to mention they usually heat your pots and pans more evenly, too. And with

‘Not a wearable’, court documents detail OpenAI’s plans for its AI hardware project with Jony Ive

As OpenAI fights a trademark lawsuit over its now-scrubbed “io” brand, new public court filings are giving us the most detailed glimpse yet into what Sam Altman and Jony Ive’s hardware team have been up to behind the scenes. ‘Not an in-ear device, nor a wearable device’ As reported by The Verge and Bloomberg yesterday, the legal battle stems from a case brought by iyO, a Google-backed startup that argues the “io” branding from OpenAI’s newly formed io Products, Inc., is too close for comfort.

Interesting Bits of Postgres Grammar

Custom Operators Very few operators are defined in the grammar itself and lots of Postgres features rely on custom operators.
