The project aims to develop biodegradable alternatives to polyethylene using bio-derived materials. By utilizing innovative catalysts for polymerization, it seeks to create environmentally friendly polymers that can be used in various applications, from everyday plastic products to biomedical devices.
Polyethylene is one of the most common materials in our daily lives and accounts for 40% of the total volume of world production of plastic materials.
It is used in a large variety of products from plastic bags to medical implants.
The annual world production is a staggering 120 million tons.
Its production is highly reliant on ethylene gas from petrochemical resources.
Moreover it is non degradable, which causes severe problems in the (marine) environment.Catylene aims at addressing both issues…
