Sustainable polymers

Within this research theme, our researchers contribute to a greener society by developing sustainable polymers. These are environmentally friendly alternatives to conventional plastics.

Our daily lives rely heavily on polymers made from non-renewable fossil materials, which are not sustainable in the long run. In this research theme, we develop sustainable polymers inspired by nature. We use renewable, recycled and waste-based materials, or combinations thereof. These polymers are designed to have a lower environmental impact and they can be reused, recycled or biodegraded at the end of their life.
