To achieve a sustainable circular economy, polymers need to start transitioning to recycled and biobased feedstock and accomplish CO2 emission neutrality. This is not only true for structural polymers, such as in packaging or engineering applications, but also for functional polymers in liquid formulations, such as adhesives, lubricants, thickeners...

The development of more sustainable material solutions is one of the key challenges today. New materials are subject to an overall risk assessment of which their impact on the environment is an important aspect. The biodegradability of a material may support a positive risk assessment. Water‐soluble and water‐dispersible polymers are widely used in...

... (Van Maele-Fabry et al., 2010). Various techniques have been used to remove organic contaminants from water, but the most basic one is biodegradation which is time consuming (Vandermeulen et al., 2022). Others include precipitation (high processing cost and toxic wastes) (Peligro et al., 2016;Benalia et al., 2022;Saleh et al., 2022), degradation (costly and time consuming) (Velempini et al., 2021;Li et al., 2022aLi et al., , 2022b, electrochemical oxidation (requires sludge treatment) (Li et al., 2016a;Ganiyu et al., 2021;Hassani et al., 2022); filtration (frequent replacements, disposal and efficiency issues) (Babu and Chaudhuri, 2005;Li et al., 2021;Ma et al., 2022), ozonation (byproducts with short half-life) (Lam et al., 2018;Lim et al., 2022;Zhu et al., 2022), photocatalytic oxidation (lacks solar sensitivity with least adsorptive efficiency) (Al-Shannag et al., 2015;Pan et al., 2022;Chen et al., 2022;Geng et al., 2020;Tan et al., 2017) and adsorption (most effective method due to its excellent efficiency, simplicity and low energy consumption) (Huang et al., 2017;Lin et al., 2022;Khader et al., 2022). ...
