This material is based on the technology behind chemically recyclable and biodegradable vulcanized rubber. By using amorphous, unsaturated polyesters derived from biobased or renewable resources, this innovative approach combines the durability of traditional rubber with eco-friendly benefits. The material is created through a vulcanization process, similar to conventional rubber, but with the added advantage of being chemically recyclable. Through solvolysis, a technology used in the chemical recycling of PET, the rubber can be broken down into its original monomers, allowing the material to be recovered and reused. Additionally, the rubber is biodegradable, breaking down in environmental conditions, which helps reduce long-term waste. This patent-pending technology not only supports a circular economy by enabling closed-loop recycling but also minimizes environmental impact, making it ideal for sustainable applications in footwear, adhesives, and other rubber-based products.
