Polyester recycling breakthrough using salt
Chemists have developed a new method for recycling polyester. A staggering 60 million tons of polyester are produced annually, for things like clothes, couches, and curtains. That polyester production takes a toll on the climate and environment, as only 15% of it gets recycled . The rest ends up in landfills or incinerated, which results in more carbon emissions. “The textile industry urgently re
