PET upcycling method improves breakdown and transforms it into high-value products
A recent review at the Nanjing Institute of Environmental Science has introduced groundbreaking methods for recycling and upcycling polyethylene terephthalate (PET) plastic, a durable material posing environmental challenges. Using advanced enzymes and catalysts, the process significantly improves PET breakdown, reducing energy use and emissions. By combining microbial and chemical catalysis, PET can be transformed into basic monomers or high-value products. These innovative techniques enhance recycling efficiency and enable PET upcycling, contributing to a circular economy and sustainable industrial practices.
