Abstract: Polyethylene terephthalate (PET) is a versatile, relatively low-cost thermoplastic polymer, but its nonbiodegradability and extensive use lead to significant accumulation and environmental risks. The main roadblocks of current plastic recycling technologies include low-quality recycled plastics… read more here.

Abstract: Abstract An emerging biogenic aprotic solvent is the cellulose-derived dihydrolevoglucosenone, or 6,8-dioxabicyclooctanone (Cyrene™). This paper explores the use of Cyrene in lipase-catalyzed biotransformations, both in aqueous solutions – as co-solvent – as well as non-conventional… read more here.
