Abstract in brief
This text discusses the development of a highly efficient engineered enzyme called PET depolymerase that can break down PET plastic waste into its monomers, mainly terephthalate, with over 90% efficiency in just 10 hours, significantly outperforming previous enzymes.
The process enables the recycling of PET into new bottles with properties similar to original petrochemical PET, supporting a circular economy where plastic waste is turned back into usable raw material.
Since traditional PET recycling methods lead to material loss, this enzymatic approach offers a sustainable solution to reduce plastic pollution by facilitating more complete and efficient recycling of PET plastics used in textiles and packaging.]

The new enzyme is 10,000x more efficient at breaking up PET, and remains intact at temperatures above 72' C, which is PET's softening point (softer plastics are easier to break down, but enzymes also break down at higher temps).
