The research uses solvents in low amounts that also act as hydrogen sources to break down a specific class of plastics called condensation polymers, which include polyethylene terephthalate (PET) ...
Researchers have succeeded in developing a microbial strain that efficiently produces pseudoaromatic polyester monomer to replace polyethylene terephthalate (PET) using systems metabolic engineering.
Not all plastics are the same; PET plastic is different PET (polyethylene terephthalate) plastic, easily identified by the No. 1 resin code, is clear, durable, versatile and the most recycled plastic ...
Microplastics, plastics smaller than 5 millimeters, are littered across the world, contributing to global warming, disrupting food chains, and harming ...
