Cover Feature: Efficient Recovery and Fast Hydrolysis of Polyethylene Terephthalate by Dihydrolevoglucosenone (Cyrene) (ChemSusChem 20/2025)
The Cover Feature shows a sustainable recycling strategy for poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET), employing the biobased solvent dihydrolevoglucosenone (Cyrene) both as a dissolution medium and as co-solvent for alkaline hydrolysis. This approach enables efficient PET regeneration and rapid hydrolysis under mild conditions, yielding high-purity PET or terephthalic acid (TPA). More details are available in the Research Article by L. Wang and co-workers (DOI: 10.1002/cssc.202501352).
