The replacement of current petroleum-based plastics with sustainable alternatives is a crucial but formidable challenge for the modern society. Catalysis presents an enabling tool to facilitate the development of sustainable polymers. This review provides a system-level analysis of sustainable polymers and outlines key criteria with respect to the feedstocks the polymers are derived from, the manner in which the polymers are generated, and the end-of-use options. Specifically, we define sustainable polymers as a class of materials that are derived from renewable feedstocks and exhibit closed-loop life cycles. Among potential candidates, aliphatic polyesters and polycarbonates are promising materials due to their renewable resources and excellent biodegradability. The development of renewable monomers, the versatile synthetic routes to convert these monomers to polyesters and polycarbonate, and the different end-of-use options for these polymers are critically reviewed, with a focus on recent advances in catalytic transformations that lower the technological barriers for developing more sustainable replacements for petroleum-based plastics.

催化作为可持续聚合物的一门科学

用可持续的替代品替代当前的石油基塑料,对于现代社会而言是至关重要但艰巨的挑战。催化提供了一种促进可持续聚合物开发的辅助工具。这篇综述提供了可持续性聚合物的系统级分析,并概述了有关聚合物来源的关键标准,聚合物的产生方式以及最终用途的选择。具体来说,我们将可持续聚合物定义为一类源自可再生原料并表现出闭环生命周期的材料。在潜在的候选物质中,脂族聚酯和聚碳酸酯由于其可再生资源和出色的生物降解性而成为很有前途的材料。开发可再生单体,
