Abstract: Polyethylene terephthalate (PET) is a mass‐produced petroleum‐based synthetic polymer. Enzymatic PET degradation using, for example, Ideonella sakaiensis PETase (IsPETase) can be a more environmentally friendly and energy‐saving alternative to the chemical recycling of PET. However,… read more here.
