An efficient and scalable melt fiber spinning system to improve enzyme-based PET recycling

Chemical recycling technologies based on hydrolase enzymes that can depolymerize PET thermoplastic are emerging, yet these approaches require the polymer to be low crystallinity to achieve high conversion. To prepare the polymer for enzymatic depolymerization, current processes rely on melting and c...
