Scientists study enzymes to recycle PET plastics, aiming to reduce waste and create sustainable recycling methods.

The rigidity, transparency and hardness of PET (Polyethylene Terephthalate) make it one of the most valuable plastics for the manufacture of plastic bottles, packaging and other single-use products.

New findings show heat-stable enzymes use flexible regions to maintain activity, guiding design of improved catalysts for PET ...
