CU Boulder chemists develop future of recycling plastics

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 04:53:34 GMT

Chemists at the University of Colorado Boulder are developing the future of recycling polyethylene terephthalate (PET), a common type of plastic found in packaging and soda bottles. The method relies on electricity and chemical reactions to dissolve the plastic.The study addresses concerns about the problem of plastic waste around the world. According to the Environmental Protection Agency, the total generation of municipal solid waste in 2018 was 292.4 million tons. This is approximately 23.7 million tons more than the amount generated in 2017.PET plastic is found in everyday items such as water bottles, blister packs and some polyester fabrics. Mixed with a special kind of molecule and small amount of electric voltage applied, the reaction decomposes acids and alcohols in the presence of oxygen.This approach works to highlight PET being deconstructed into their molecular components through electrochemical reaction.Study co-author Oana Luca, who is also an assistant professor in th...
