In a recent study published in Engineering, researchers have made significant strides in the enzymatic depolymerization of polyethylene terephthalate (PET) through β-sheet engineering of IsPETase. The ...
It turns out that the black plastic lid atop your coffee cup has a superpower. And the Stache Lab at Princeton Chemistry, ...
Scientists have developed a new method to plastic bottles and textiles into a valuable chemical called EHMB. The EHMB can ...
Professor Kotohiro Nomura’s research group at Tokyo Metropolitan University has developed an efficient method for the exclusive depolymerization of PET (polyethylene terephthalate) *1, PET bottles and ...
The enzymatic degradation of polyethylene terephthalate (PET) represents a significant advance in addressing the growing challenge of plastic waste. This process involves specialised enzymes, known as ...
This startling mechanism for promoting depolymerization relies on an additive that many plastics already contain: a pigment called carbon black that gives plastic its black color. Through a process ...
