Solvent based dissolution and precipitation significantly enhance enzymatic depolymerisation of PET.
The study reveals that pretreated substrates can improve the recycling efficiency of PET.
Observational analysis explored the effectiveness of various solvent based pretreatment methods.
These findings support the idea that enzymatic recycling could be a practical solution for plastic waste.

Implication

Enzymatic depolymerisation of polyethylene terephthalate improves with solvent based pretreatment, suggesting further exploration.

Abstract

Plastics are ubiquitous in modern society, however their disposal at end of life remains challenging. Enzymatic recycling offers a potential low energy solution to recycling poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET), however high...
