Giuseppe Storti

Prof. em. Giuseppe Storti is a retired Adjunct Professor at ETH Zurich's Department of Chemistry and Applied Biosciences. His research focuses on polymer chemistry, recycling technologies, and sustainable materials, with a strong emphasis on depolymerization processes for waste valorization. He has contributed extensively to the development of bio-based polymers, industrial-scale recycling methods, and advanced separation technologies like pressure swing adsorption.

His work integrates chemical engineering principles with material science to address challenges in environmental sustainability, including the synthesis of biodegradable polymers and the optimization of polymerization processes. Key contributions include studies on PET depolymerization from textile waste, lignin-based polyurethanes, and novel processes for recovering polyesters and polyamides from post-consumer materials.

Publications highlight his expertise in emulsion polymerization, fluorinated ionomers, and hydrogel drug delivery systems. His research often bridges fundamental chemistry with industrial applications, emphasizing scalable and economically viable solutions for waste management and sustainable manufacturing.
