几乎不可能想象没有氟聚合物的生活，氟聚合物是用于复杂的日常应用的高性能聚合物。它们是工业应用中必不可少的，也是各种消费品的一部分。它们的制造需要大量的能源和原材料，这反映在高昂的材料价格上。一个成熟的回收行业确保废物在整个价值链上被收集，并在再处理后可用于各种其他应用。但是，当氟聚合物产品达到生命周期的尽头时，会发生什么呢？为了回答这个问题，德国Burgkirchen的Dyneon GmbH是一家3M公司，它与德国拜罗伊特大学和德国奥斯堡的InVerTec合作开展了一个由德国环境基金会Deutsche Bundesstiftung UmWelt赞助的项目。该项目的目的是开发一种方法，将这些报废产品回收成新产品，转化率高，质量不损失。
It’s almost impossible to imagine life without fluoropolymers, the high performance polymers used in sophisticated, everyday applications. They are essential to industrial applications and as part of a variety of consumer goods. Their manufacture requires significant amounts of energy and of raw materials, which is reflected in high material prices. An established recycling industry ensures that waste is collected throughout the value chain and, after reprocessing, is made available for a variety of other applications. But what happens to fluoropolymer products when they have reached the end of their life cycle? To answer this question Dyneon GmbH in Burgkirchen, Germany, a 3M Company, has collaborated with the University of Bayreuth and InVerTec, Osburg, Germany, on a project sponsored by the environmental foundation, Deutsche Bundesstiftung Umwelt. The aim of the project is to develop a method for recycling these end-of-life products into new products, with a high conversion rate and no loss of quality.
