Polyethylene terephthalate (PET) is a thermoplastic polyester. It is widely used to make films, bottles and textile fibres because of its resistance to water, high strength-to-weight ratio, safety, and availability. However, as the packaging and bottling industries increased their use of plastic, the amount of non-biodegradable plastic waste skyrocketed, becoming a significant global environmental issue. Furthermore, because plastics are long-lasting and cannot be easily broken down by microorganisms in nature, the recycling of PET products is in high demand [1]. [...]. |
