Abstract:

This article summarizes the development of green manufacturing and the whole life cycle of polymer materials from multiple aspects such as the source of raw materials, i.e. monomers, catalysts, synthesis methods, processing technologies, and recycling strategies. The research results demonstrated that there were a variety of natural resources that do not rely on petroleum and can be used to obtain polymer materials. Some new synthesis and processing technologies can help to reduce energy consumption and emissions. The used polymer products can be regenerated and reused through four ways, including physical, chemical, energy and biological cycles. A green and controlled production path throughout the life cycle has become an important and feasible development direction in the future.

Key words: polymer, monomer, catalyst, synthesi, processing, recycling, green manufacturing, sustainable development
