Look before you leap: Are increased recycling efforts accelerating microplastic pollution?
J Ind Ecol
December 2024
Group for Sustainability and Technology ETH Zurich Zurich Switzerland.
To fight plastic pollution and reach net-zero ambitions, policy and industry set goals to increase the recycling of plastics and the recycled content in products. While this ideally reduces demand for virgin material, it also increases pressure on recyclers to find suitable endmarkets for the recyclate. This may lead to two effects: a multiplication of recycled content in applications already made of plastic and a substitution of non-plastic materials with cheap, low-quality recyclate.

Article Synopsis
- Amphibians are a diverse group of tetrapods facing significant threats, with about 41% of species at risk of extinction due to various factors like habitat loss and climate change.
- Genomic research on amphibians is critical for understanding their biology, including unique traits like tissue regeneration and adaptation, yet it has lagged behind other vertebrates due to technical challenges.
- The newly formed Amphibian Genomics Consortium (AGC) aims to enhance global collaboration and accelerate genomic research in amphibians, with over 282 members from 41 countries already involved.
Atacama Large Aperture Submillimeter Telescope (AtLAST) science: Our Galaxy.
Open Res Eur
June 2024
Institute of Theoretical Physics, University of Oslo, Blindern, Oslo, 0315, Norway.
Article Synopsis
- Researchers are studying the multi-scale interstellar medium (ISM) of our Galaxy to understand the relationships between gas, dust, and star formation in Giant Molecular Clouds (GMCs).
- The Milky Way's complex structure is influenced by massive stars and dust lanes, making it essential to observe these features at (sub-)millimeter wavelengths for in-depth analysis.
- A proposed 50m single-dish sub-mm telescope called AtLAST aims to provide comprehensive observations of the Galactic Plane and surrounding areas to enhance our understanding of stellar formation, planetary system evolution, and the overall ecology of our Galaxy.
Establish of air pollutants and greenhouse gases emission inventory and co-benefits of their reduction of transportation sector in Central China.

College of Chemistry, Zhengzhou University, Zhengzhou 450001, China; Research Institute of Environmental Sciences, Zhengzhou University, Zhengzhou 450001, China.
Recently, the transportation sector in China has gradually become the main source of urban air pollution and primary driver of carbon emissions growth. Considering air pollutants and greenhouse gases come from the same emission sources, it is necessary to establish an updated high-resolution emission inventory for the transportation sector in Central China, the most polluted region in China. The inventory includes on-road mobile, non-road mobile, oil storage and transportation, and covers 9 types of air pollutants and 3 types of greenhouse gases.
