Enzymatic post-consumer poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) depolymerization using commercial enzymes. [PDF]
3 Biotech, 2023 Poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) is a synthetic polymer widely used globally. The high PET resistance to biotic degradation and its improper destination result in the accumulation of this plastic in the environment, largely affecting terrestrial and aquatic animals.
