Abstract

The traditional multi-material product design of plastic products significantly complicates both existing and emerging recycling processes. Here, we discuss the concept of mono-material product design, which is based on circular and biodegradable polymers made of a single monomer, delivering tailorable properties via molecular or macromolecular engineering without changing its chemical makeup or composition.
