Engineered enzyme efficiently recycles PET bottles and blended fibers at moderate temperatures
A research team has successfully engineered a novel PET hydrolase enzyme, PET2-21M, achieving a remarkable improvement in the biodegradation of bottle-grade polyethylene terephthalate (PET) plastics. High activity towards PET/cotton and PET/polyurethane (PU) textile blends was also demonstrated separately with the closely related variant PET2-14M-6Hot.
A novel enzyme sets new standards in the recycling of PET bottles and mixed fibers. It convinces above all at lower temperatures compared to conventional methods that meet their limits at this temperature level. The article Enzyme recycled plastic: PET bottles become biodegradable first appeared on ingenieur.de - Jobbörse und Nachrichtsportal für Ingenieure.
