      Viability of Glycolysis for the Chemical Recycling of Highly Coloured and Multi-Layered Actual PET Wastes 

      Asueta, Asier; Arnaiz, Sixto; Miguel-Fernández, Rafael; Leivar, Jon; Amundarain, Izotz; Aramburu, Borja; Gutiérrez Ortiz, José Ignacio ORCID; López Fonseca, Rubén ORCID (MDPI, 2023-10-23)
      The chemical recycling of poly(ethylene terephthalate) –PET– fractions, derived from actual household packaging waste streams, using solvolysis, was investigated. This recycling strategy was applied after a previous on-line ...
