The University of St Andrews has developed two advanced techniques aimed at chemically recycling nitrile-rubber products, including disposable gloves and industrial seals.

These methods focus on transforming rubber waste into new materials, thereby addressing the environmental challenges associated with rubber disposal.

The research contributes to the broader field of sustainable material development and CO₂ capture, potentially enhancing the efficiency of waste management systems.
