S rostoucí produkcí PET (polyethylentereftalát) obalů narůstají problémy s hromadícími se použitými obaly, a to především PET lahvemi. Většina netříděných odpadních PET obalů se však v současnosti likviduje spalováním. V Ústavu chemických procesů AV ČR jsme za účelem řešení tohoto problému vyvinuli unikátní technologii zpracování odpadního PET materiálu na produkty, které jsou použitelné k opětovné výrobě tohoto polymeru. Aktuálně se otevírá možnost jejího uplatnění v praxi. and Milan Hájek.
