Progress in the catalytic glycolysis of polyethylene terephthalate

Journal of Environmental Management, 2021
This paper briefly reviews the development history of polyethylene terephthalate (PET) and the recycling of PET. As one of the most promising way to degrade PET into oligomers and monomers that can be used for the production of high-quality PET, catalytic glycolysis is highlighted in this review.

Hydrogenating Polyethylene Terephthalate into Degradable Polyesters

Angewandte Chemie
AbstractThe recycling and upcycling of polyethylene terephthalate (PET), the most widely used polyester plastic globally, has attracted growing attention concerning its disposal as non‐degradable waste in the natural environment. Transforming end‐of‐life PET into (bio)degradable polyester offers a novel approach to managing its waste. In this study, we
