An international research team has developed a plastic that is made up of 50 per cent renewable raw materials, is produced in a more energy-efficient manner and can be selectively broken down at the end of its useful life. The Department of Polymer Chemistry at BTU Senftenberg has made a key contribution to this. The findings have now been published in the journal *Chem Circularity*.
