Toray Industries says it has developed what it believes is the first solvent-based recycling technology for polyphenylene sulfide (PPS), selectively dissolving and separating PPS from waste while keeping it in polymer form rather than breaking it down into monomers.

What applications or supply-chain steps do you think could benefit most from polymer-preserving PPS recycling, and what hurdles (e.g., contamination, solvent recovery, cost) might affect scale-up?
