The document titled "New biological and chemical processes allow recovery of PET plastic waste that presents difficulties in the recycling process" discusses innovative methods developed by the ITENE research center to address challenges in recycling certain types of polyethylene terephthalate (PET) plastic waste. These challenges include difficulties in recycling multilayer, monolayer, and colored PET packaging, which are not effectively processed through traditional mechanical recycling methods.

The document highlights the development of new biological and chemical processes aimed at recovering these problematic PET wastes. These processes have been researched and implemented between June 2022 and June 2023 as part of the RecyPET project, financed by the Instituto Valenciano de Competitividad Empresarial (IVACE) with Feder funds. The primary goal of these innovations is to enhance the recyclability of PET plastics that are currently not recycled, thereby contributing to environmental sustainability and waste reduction.

By implementing these advanced recycling techniques, the ITENE research center aims to improve the efficiency of PET waste management and reduce the environmental impact associated with plastic pollution. The document underscores the importance of developing and adopting such innovative solutions to tackle the growing issue of plastic waste that is challenging to recycle through conventional means.
