Poly(butylene succinate) (PBS) is one of the contaminants in Poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) recycling process. It known that high contents PBS PET significantly reduce properties, but effect low on has yet to be studied. This work studied influence recycled PET. Five formulations were prepared, and properties relative affinity, mechanical, thermal, disintegration under composting conditions...

Abstract Ideonella sakaiensis ( I. ) can grow on polyethylene terephthalate (PET) as the major carbon and energy source. Previous work has shown that PET conversion in presence of oxygen released dioxide water while yielding adenosine triphosphate (ATP) through oxidative phosphorylation. This study demonstrates is a facultative anaerobe ferments to feedstock chemicals acetate ethanol absence ox...

Although recycling is considered the core of a circular economy for returning materials to the supply chain, its procedures are poorly understood. Waste recycling is considered a big source of energy saving and a promoter of CO2 recovery. Besides that, it generates jobs and changes markets worldwide. The Brasilian National Policy on Solid Waste (PNRS) recognizes Waste Pickers as the major socia...

We performed this retrospective clinical study to examine the prognostic power of bone scintigraphy (BS) and F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography (FDG PET/CT) in terms of overall survival (OS) of breast cancer with bone-only metastasis.We retrospectively evaluated 100 female invasive ductal breast cancer patients (mean age 48.1 years) with bone-only metastasis. ...

One environmental problem in most countries is the huge quantities of plastic waste, which has different types polymers such as polyethylene terephthalate (PET), polypropylene (PP)., These plastics become a because their non-biodegradability, toxicity, etc. The recovery waste pavements an ecological technique that contributes to preservation natural resources. In this study, PET was used additi...

Synthetic plastics are often considered to be materials that cannot broken down by natural processes. One such plastic, polyethylene terephthalate (PET), is commonly used in everyday items but when these products discarded, they can cause serious harm the environment and human health. In this study, PET plastic waste was create activated carbon using a physical activation process involved CO2 g...

A group of researchers comprising Keio University Faculty of Science and Technology Assistant Professor Shosuke Yoshida (currently a researcher for the ERATO Akiyoshi Bio-Nanotransporter Project at the Graduate School of Engineering, Kyoto University), Keio University Associate Professor Kenji Miyamoto, Kyoto Institute of Technology Professor Emeritus Kohei Oda, and Professor Emeritus Yoshiharu...

The analysis of the situation with processing plastic waste in Krasnoyarsk Territory, carried out article, showed its low efficiency. Most waste, which 20 % is polyethylene terephthalate (PET), not recycled and ends up landfills. main reason lack enterprises engaged full-fledged recycling. This exacerbates difficult environmental region. authors have developed presented a recycling project base...

Plastics play an essential role in modern society; however, the relentless growth of their production is threatening both human health and ecosystems. As a result, there are intensive efforts developing recycling technologies to repurpose waste plastics into building blocks for valuable materials. Here we show binuclear complex that can catalyse degradation poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET)—th...
