Chemical recycling and repolymerization of poly(ethylene terephthalate), poly(ethylene furanoate), and their copolyesters [PDF]
RSC AdvancesReplacing fossil-based plastics with bio-based ones is vital for future sustainability. However, bio-based plastics are not recycled within current recycling feeds, as polymers generally do not mix.

Value-Added Products Derived from Poly(ethylene terephthalate) Glycolysis [PDF]
MoleculesAmong polymer wastes, poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) is the most important commercial thermoplastic polyester. Less than 30% of total PET production is recycled into new products. Therefore, large amounts of waste PET need to be recycled. We describe
