Research shows enzyme-based plastics recycling is more energy-efficient, better for the environment
In a new study, researchers have discovered that using enzymes is a more sustainable approach for recycling polyethylene terephthalate (PET), a common plastic used in single-use beverage bottles,
Researchers converts plastic waste into vanillin using bacteria
Researchers at the University of Edinburgh have genetically engineered the common bacteria Escherichia coli (E.Coli) to convert post-consumer PET plastic into vanillin via a sequence of chemical
What are polyester chips?
Polyester chips are also known as PET chips or Polyethylene Terephthalate chips. These chips are used as the base of many types of plastics and polymers. Polyester chips exist in two forms based on
What are the uses of paraxylene?

What is polyester staple fiber (PSF)?
Among all the man-made synthetic fibers present in the world, Polyester Staple Fibre (PSF) has emerged as the fastest-growing fiber. Through the polymerization process, Purified Terephthalic Acid
How is polyester made?
• Polymerization: The two raw material- ethylene glycol and terephthalic acid are mixed in a reaction chamber at high temperature and under vacuum. Catalysts are used to speed up the reaction.
What is polyester?
According to the classification system used in the United States dictated by the Textiles fiber Product Identification Act (TFPIA), Polyester is categorised as a synthetic fiber. It is commonly
What are the types of polymerization?
When we talk about the fiber properties it is important to gain mindful knowledge of why certain fiber behaves in a particular manner and answer to this is the molecular structure of that fiber.
