Since the advent of microplastics, it has become a vital component, directly or indirectly, in
our daily lives. With advancements in their use, microplastics have become an integral part …

Versatility and desirable attributes of synthetic plastics have greatly contributed towards their
wide applications. However, vast accumulation of plastic wastes in environment as a result …

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 …

Preventing catastrophic climate events warrants prompt action to delay global warming,
which threatens health and food security. In this context, waste management using …

Polyethylene terephthalate (PET) is a mass-produced fossil-based plastic polymer that
contributes to catastrophic levels of plastic pollution. Here we demonstrated that Tenebrio …

Ideonella sakaiensis PETase (IsPETase) is a unique polyethylene terephthalate (PET)
hydrolase that displays great potential for mitigating PET waste at moderate temperatures …

This research aims to maximize polyethylene terephthalate (PET) nonwoven fabric waste
and make it as a new source for benzoic acid extraction using a pyrolysis process. The …

Poly (ethylene terephthalate)(PET) is the most abundant polyester plastic and is causing
serious environmental pollution. Rapid biological depolymerization of PET waste at a large …

Plastic production has increased dramatically, leading to accumulated plastic waste in the
ocean. Marine plastics can be broken down into microplastics (< 5 mm) by sunlight …

Ubiquitous post-consumer plastic waste is often physically mixed combining recalcitrant
petroleum-based plastics with bioplastics, forming (petro-bio) plastic streams. Finding …
