Key Points

Glycolysis effectively addresses post-consumer PET accumulation, improving environmental outcomes.
The catalyst 1-ethyl 3-methyl imidazolium dicyanamide enhances the glycolysis process for PET recycling.
Emphasizing recycling can significantly reduce non-biodegradable PET waste in the environment.
This approach may help shift towards a more sustainable circular economy for plastic products.

Implication

This analysis reveals glycolysis efficiency in recycling post-consumer PET products, suggesting circular economy strategies.

Abstract

The non-biodegradable nature of polyethylene terephthalate (PET) raises concerns about the accumulation of post-consumer PET products in the environment. Recycling is the most viable solution to address this issue. Among...
