“Plastic-Eating” Fusion Enzyme Improves Polyester Textile Recycling | Newswise
[ad_1] Newswise — In a study published in Bioresource Technology Journal, scientists from the universities of Portsmouth and Manchester report that a specially engineered enzyme can significantly speed up the breakdown of PET – the plastic used in water bottles, food packaging and polyester clothing – when it is processed at high concentrations similar to those used in industry. PET, short for poly (ethylene terephthalate), […]
