A recent study published in Terratmosphera investigated the production of biodegradable polyurethane using waste sunflower cooking oil as a sustainable feedstock. The researchers synthesized mixed petroleum–sunflower polyols under different reaction times and oil-to-glycerol ratios and evaluated the resulting polyurethane for physical, mechanical, structural, and chemical-resistance properties. The highest polyol yield was 60.1% at a 4:1 oil-to-glycerol ratio after 80 minutes at 250 °C with 1.0% sodium hydroxide catalyst. Among the formulations, SuPU-30:20 showed the best overall balance, including a tensile strength of 14 kPa and good resistance to chemical attack. The findings suggest that waste sunflower cooking oil has promising potential for sustainable polyurethane production, although further formulation optimisation is needed.
