A new silicone recycling process advancing the sector's circularity
A study conducted by French researchers from the CNRS « Catalyse, Polymérisation, Procédés et Matériaux » laboratory of the Université Claude Bernard in Lyon, have described in Science a new method of recycling silicone waste (caulk, sealants, gels, adhesives, cosmetics, etc.). According to the authors, this chemical recycling process can bring any type of used silicone material back to an earlier state in its life cycle where each molecule has only one silicon atom. Allowing to design new... - Industry buzz
