Sustainable Additives in Polymer Technology

Sustainable Additives in Polymer Technology by Henri Vahabi and Mohammad Reza Saeb is an essential guide for engineers, researchers, and sustainability professionals seeking practical, research-driven solutions to make plastics greener without compromising performance.

From the first page you’ll be drawn into a clear exploration of why sustainable additives matter today: reduced environmental footprint, improved recyclability, and compliance with evolving regional regulations across Europe, North America, and Asia. The authors translate complex polymer science into actionable strategies, covering bio-based plasticizers, green flame retardants, renewable fillers, compatibilizers for mixed-waste streams, and design-for-recyclability approaches.

Practical case studies and comparative analyses highlight real-world outcomes—material selection for automotive and packaging applications, processing adjustments to maintain throughput, and lifecycle assessment metrics that quantify gains. The book also addresses industry priorities such as cost-effectiveness, performance retention, and pathways to scale, making it equally valuable for R&D labs and sustainability teams steering corporate policy.

If you’re responsible for product development, regulatory compliance, or circular-economy initiatives, this book provides the technical grounding and commercial perspective to implement change confidently. Chapters balance fundamental science, experimental results, and decision-making tools, equipping you to specify additives that meet both functional and environmental targets.

A forward-looking resource grounded in contemporary research, Sustainable Additives in Polymer Technology is tailored for the global marketplace—helping manufacturers, consultants, and academics accelerate the transition to greener polymers.
