Recent advances driven by the society’s need of implementing a more sustainable polymer chemistry, led to the development of several bio-based materials and the booming of the interest of using biocatalysts for polymer processing and recycling.

The aim of CIRCULARIZE is to develop appropriate chemo-enzymatic methods to process bio-based resources to obtain advanced functional materials via the exploitation of highly selective reactions following the green chemistry principles. Further, the aim is, based on that knowledge, to improve the reaction efficiency of the biocatalysts and understand and control the surface and bulk properties of the produced materials in pursuit of novel smart materials and reactive surfaces.
