Clemson University Researcher Leads Project to Develop Sustainable Plastic Packaging

Clemson University Researcher Leads Project to Develop Sustainable Plastic Packaging

James Sternberg, an assistant professor in Clemson University’s Department of Food, Nutrition and Packaging Sciences, is spearheading a research project focused on creating more sustainable plastic packaging. Supported by a five-year award from the National Science Foundation’s Faculty Early Career Development (CAREER) Program, the initiative aims to develop biodegradable plastics, enhance recycling technologies, and educate future scientists in sustainable materials. The project challenges the traditional 'make it, use it, throw it away' model by designing materials with their entire lifecycle in mind, from performance during use to disposal. This includes developing safer plastics from renewable resources that can biodegrade through composting, creating foams that can be manufactured more safely at room temperature, and improving the value and performance of recycled PET and PLA plastics. Researchers are exploring materials derived from crops, vegetable oils, glycerol, lignin, cellulose, and forestry pro...

Lexington, Massachusetts Observes Stormwater Awareness Week to Protect Waterways

Lexington, Massachusetts Observes Stormwater Awareness Week to Protect Waterways

Lexington, Massachusetts, is observing Stormwater Awareness Week, an initiative aimed at educating residents about the importance of stormwater management and encouraging their participation in protecting local waterways. The town is emphasizing the role of effective stormwater management in safeguarding its water resources and mitigating flooding. Residents are being urged to take actions such as keeping leaves and yard debris away from catch basins, properly disposing of pet waste, trash, and household chemicals, and using fertilizers and pesticides responsibly. The initiative also promotes the town's 'Adopt-a-Drain' program, inviting residents to help keep storm drains clear. This annual event highlights the environmental impact of stormwater runoff, which can carry pollutants into local rivers like the Charles, Mystic, and Shawsheen.

Study Warns of Extensive Mining Pollution Threat to Global Coastlines

Study Warns of Extensive Mining Pollution Threat to Global Coastlines

New research indicates that metal mining waste poses a significant pollution risk to nearly 300,000 kilometers of the world's coastlines. This threat, equivalent to circling the Earth more than seven times, is projected to worsen with accelerating climate change. Scientists from the National Oceanography Centre (NOC) and Plymouth Marine Laboratory (PML) published their findings in Earth-Science Reviews, marking the first comprehensive assessment of this global issue. The study identified 4,094 active mines, 28,563 inactive mines, and 11,472 tailings storage facilities located near coastlines, all contributing to potential contamination. Metals released from these sites can accumulate in coastal sediments and marine life, leading to damage to ecosystems and fisheries, and posing health risks through contaminated seafood. The research highlights that long-term leakage from both active and abandoned mines presents a greater overall threat than the more publicized, but rarer, catastrophic tailings dam failures...
