Plastics are everywhere in our modern way of living, and their production keeps increasing
every year, causing major environmental concerns. Nowadays, the end-of-life management …

Plastic pollution is a growing environmental problem, in part due to the extremely stable and
durable nature of this polymer. As recycling does not provide a complete solution, research …

In recent years, enzymatic recycling of the widely used polyester polyethylene terephthalate
(PET) has become a complementary solution to current thermomechanical recycling for …

Earth is flooded with plastics and the need for sustainable recycling strategies for polymers
has become increasingly urgent. Enzyme‐based hydrolysis of post‐consumer plastic is an …

Abstract Globally, poly (ethylene terephthalate)(PET) is the most utilized class of
thermoplastic single-use polyesters, accumulating in ecosystems and aggravating …

Polyethylene terephthalate (PET) hydrolase is a challenging target as PET is a commonly
used plastic that is extremely resistant to enzymatic attack. Since the discovery of a PET …

Enzymatic depolymerization of poly (ethylene terephthalate)(PET) has emerged as a
potential method for PET recycling, but extensive thermomechanical preprocessing to …

Plastics production and recycling chains must be refitted to a circular economy. Poly
(ethylene terephthalate)(PET) is especially suitable for recycling because of its hydrolysable …

The serious issue of textile waste accumulation has raised attention on biodegradability as a
possible route to support sustainable consumption of textile fibers. However, synthetic textile …

From the surface of the earth to the depths of the ocean, microplastics are a hazard for both
aquatic and terrestrial habitats. Due to their small size and vast expanse, they can further …
