Neopentyl glycol as an alternative solvent for the chemical recycling of complex PET waste
Neopentyl glycol (NPG) was evaluated for glycolysis of complex PET waste streams, and an effective purification process was developed. Monomeric products achieved over 90% purity, making them suitable for high-quality, value-added applications.
