Abstract
A transition to a more sustainable production is a major societal challenge in all industrial sectors. The field of membrane manufacturing used in separation processes is no exception. This article deals with the substitution of conventional petroleum-based and non-biodegradable polymers by biobased and/or biodegradable polymers for membrane manufacturing. The different families of biobased and/or biodegradable polymers are briefly presented and their use as well as their advantages and disadvantages are discussed with regard to this application. Finally, the remaining efforts
to move towards a more sustainable and safe industrial membrane manufacturing are discussed.
