Recovery of poly(ethylene terephthalate) PET

Increased demand for recycled plastics will provide an economic incentive for reclaimers and recyclers to developthe new markets of the future.Research is currently focused on the chemical recovery or recycling of raw materials which consists through certain appropriate treatments in restoring the basic constituents i.e. the starting monomers or even the basic petrochemical product (naphtha or refined and distilled oil). The obtained products allow a use in the same conditions as the virgin raw materials
