It is difficult to reuse wastes from polymers due to the mismatch between the amount of
contaminants and the secondary polymers and the quality of the feed. This type of operation …

The growing amount of plastic waste endangers the environment. Polyethylene
terephthalate (PET) is among the most widespread plastics due to its extensive use in fibers …

The degradation of two poly (ethylene terephtalate)(PET) samples from urban and marine
wastes (PET-u and PET-m, respectively) has been studied by comparing their properties …

In this paper, sustainable thermoplastic polyurethanes (TPU) were synthesized from a
recycled bis (2-hydroxyethyl) terephthalate (BHET) monomer obtained by glycolysis of …

Polyethylene terephthalate (PET) is a plastic material commonly applied to beverage
packaging used in everyday life. Owing to PET's versatility and ease of use, its consumption …

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 …

The waste management of polyethylene terephthalate (PET)–derived polyester (PES) textile
