Improving the Sustainability of Catalytic Glycolysis of Complex PET Waste through Bio-Solvolysis

Improving the Sustainability of Catalytic Glycolysis of Complex PET Waste through Bio-Solvolysis

This work addresses a novel bio-solvolysis process for the treatment of complex poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) waste using a biobased monoethylene glycol (BioMEG) as a depolymerization agent in order to achieve a more sustainable chemical recycling process. Five difficult-to-recycle PET waste st...
