Learn about condensation polymers: formed when a diol reacts with a dicarboxylic acid, producing a polyester and water. These polymers are used in fabrics and biodegradable materials like biopolyesters, which decompose quickly, helping to reduce landfill waste.

Learn about condensation polymers: formed when a diol reacts with a dicarboxylic acid, producing a polyester and water. These polymers are used in fabrics and biodegradable materials like biopolyesters, which decompose quickly, helping to reduce landfill waste.
Learn about addition polymers: formed by joining monomers with C=C bonds, such as ethene to polyethene. Polymers are non-biodegradable, causing environmental issues like landfill buildup and ocean pollution. Disposing involves burning, which releases harmful gases, or recycling, which is labour-intensive but eco-friendly.
