Plastics Recycling With Enzymes Takes a Leap Forward | Key Process Improvements Save Energy and Cut Costs for Recycling Polyester With Enzymes

A successful collaboration involving a trio of research institutions has yielded a road map toward an economically viable process for using enzymes to recycle plastics. The researchers, from NREL, the University of Massachusetts Lowell, and the University of Portsmouth in England, previously partnered on the biological engineering of improved PETase enzymes that can break down polyethylene terephthalate (PET).
