The treatment of PET (Polyethylene terephthalate) is an important process in solid waste management and the promotion of recycling. PET is a type of plastic widely used in beverage packaging, water bottles, food containers, and other applications due to its strength and transparency.

Recycled PET offers a more sustainable alternative to the production of new plastics, which helps conserve energy, reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and decrease the amount of plastic waste in landfills and the environment. In this transformation, chemistry plays a fundamental role, enabling more effective industrial processes and a cleaner end material.
