Designed for Molecular Recycling: A Lignin-Derived Semi-aromatic Biobased Polymer
Published on: November 30, 2020
Abstract:
At a recent seminar in London, "Sustainability and the environment in the real world", speakers from multinational flooring specialist, Tarkett, and major users of the company's floorcoverings, examined how specifier, customer, consumer, and regulatory demands for more "sustainable" flooring systems are impacting on this important product sector, and how such pressures have increasingly seen introduced a new generation of flooring systems that not only incorporate a high recycled content, offer a full "cradle to cradle" lifecycle, and have low emissions, but are also produced with careful "stewardship" of, for instance, the water and energy consumed in their manufacture.
