description Sustainability and circularity are key issues facing the global polymer industry. The search for biodegradable and environmentally-friendly polymers that can replace conventional materials is a difficult challenge that has been met with limited success. Alternatives must be cost-effective, scalable, and provide equivalent performance. We report that latexes made by the conventional emulsion polymerization of vinyl acetate and functional vinyl ester monomers are efficient thickeners for consumer products and biodegrade in wastewater. This approach uses readily-available starting materials and polymerization is carried out in water at room temperature, in one pot, and generates negligible waste. Moreover, the knowledge that poly­(vinyl ester)­s are biodegradable will lead to the design of new green polymer materials.
