Dyson products are primarily made from plastic and therefore require significant investment in managing their through life impact. This feasibility study aims to evaluate the potential for using 2nd generation bio-based polymers as an environmentally beneficial alternative to conventional polymers. Evidence suggests that these new materials could lead to significant through life benefits if a closed loop recycling process could be established but it is still unclear where such materials may be appropriate and what the true through life benefit could be. This study looks to explore this by understanding where 2nd generation bio-based polymers can be used, what are the true through life benefits and ultimately what does the roadmap for realising this look like.

戴森产品主要由塑料制成，因此需要大量投资来管理其对整个生命周期的影响。该可行性研究旨在评估使用第二代生物基聚合物作为传统聚合物的环保替代品的潜力。有证据表明，如果能够建立一个闭环回收过程，这些新材料可能会带来重大的终身效益，但目前还不清楚这些材料在哪里可能是合适的，以及真正的终身效益是什么。这项研究旨在通过了解第二代生物基聚合物的用途、真正的终身益处以及最终实现这一目标的路线图来探索这一点。
