Current recycling rates for PET stand at approximately 20%, with most of the recycled material being downgraded to lower-quality products. This inefficiency presents a challenge for sustainable waste management.
The innovative technique focuses on converting waste PET into high-quality raw materials, thereby enhancing the overall throughput of recycling processes.
Additionally, the method generates clean hydrogen, which could have implications for energy production and further integration into circular economy models.
