Herein, we report a new class of biosourced nanofiltration membranes based on chemically recyclable aliphatic polyesters (P(4,5-T6GBL)) and the use of green solvents. Given their chemical recyclability and potential biodegradability, these polyester membranes were designed to have a sustainable lifecycle. The effect of mem-brane thickness and solvent/non-solvent diffusivity on membrane morphology and organic solvent nanofiltration were investigated. Long-term membrane stability was tested in a continuous crow-flow filtration rig over a week, which exhibited stable methanol permeance at 8.6 & PLUSMN; 0.1 L m-2 h -1 bar-1. The rejection profiles of the pharma-ceuticals oleuropein (540 g mol -1) and roxithromycin (837 g mol -1) were also found to be stable at 87% and 100%, respectively.
