We are thrilled to announce our newest publication in @ACSSustainable We report the successful synthesis of a biodegradable vulcanized polyester-based rubber exhibiting elastic properties. Solvolysis to the monomer enables recycling. Check it out: pubs.acs.org/doi/full/10.102…

Degradable and Recyclable Polyesters from Multiple Chain Length Bio- and Waste-Sourceable Monomers (Stefan Mecking and co-workers) @MeckingGroup #OpenAccess thanks to #ProjektDEAL onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/…

Degradable and Recyclable Polyesters from Multiple Chain Length Bio‐ and Waste‐Sourceable Monomers

Polyesters derived from multiple chain length dicarboxylate feedstocks, as obtained from valorization of waste polyethylene or oxidation of bio-based fatty acids, exhibit high density polyethylene-...

Could we make recyclable and degradable polyesters from #biowaste? @TaylorFNelson and colleagues show that the small monomers found in feedstock or #biomass can be used to make longer chains. This could be the next step towards closed-loop #recycling. bit.ly/3PxIOC1

The Environmental Chemistry Group at #ETHZurich has developed a new approach to track and measure whether and to what degree plastic biodegrades in a soil. ethz.ch/en/news-and-events/e…

What a slap in the face for visa holders and separated families banned from entering the US from Europe since March 2020. We are vaccinated and missing our loved ones #LoveIsNotTourism

Nothing beats seeing loved ones in person. To safely reconnect with those you’ve missed, get fully vaccinated against #COVID19 before you #travel. Learn more: bit.ly/3aauF7o

Kudos to Airpop for producing one of the greatest and most absurd #greenwashing adverts for plastic. "We teach air* to protect children... and reduce CO2 emissions!" *air = expanded polystyrene vimeo.com/123746635

"Rather than switch to 'biodegradable' alternatives, we need to focus on overall #reduction of #plastic production and use if we really want to solve the problem." - @DeniseMitrano at @AllAtlantic2021. #Biodegradable plastics may play their role, but aren't the solution.
