Increasing the sustainability of plastics with sulphur waste
A research team at the University of Bayreuth has succeeded in making plastics more sustainable. The scientists have developed a method to incorporate so-called dynamic sulphur bonds into polyester. Elemental sulphur, a waste product of crude oil refining, plays a central role in this process.
