Selective Upcycling of Waste PET into Di(2-ethylhexyl) Terephthalate via a Hybrid Organometallic Catalytic Strategy for PVC Plasticizer Applications
The selective conversion of post-consumer polyethylene terephthalate (PET) into value-added plasticizers offers a promising pathway for advancing polymer circularity within the scope of the circular economy approach. Herein, waste PET bottles were directly upcycled into di(2-ethylhexyl) terephthalate (DOTP) via degrada...
