This talk will cover our recent efforts in the development of bio-based building blocks to be used in recyclable-by-design polymers. These efforts include metabolic engineering and bioprocess development to convert carbohydrates and lignin-related aromatic compounds into useful monomers and the synthesis, characterization, and chemical recycling of new bio-based polymers. We will also review recent efforts in techno-economic analysis and life cycle assessment that aim to compare the synthesis and recycling of bio-based, recyclable polymers to the linear production and landfilling of conventional polymers that fulfill the same function.
