PET
How About Introducing BreakdownPEF?
However, bio-degradation of PET will result in breakdown products such as methane or (at best, if methane is recovered/converted to) CO2, the so called Greenhouse Gases, which in this case a derived from oil.
PET Recycle & Reuse – Only an (Important) Interim Solution!
PET recycling is important, but all polyesters must be made from sugars (rather sooner than later)
How to Turn a Corncob into Plastic Bottles
Corncobs can be removed from the fields without any negative impact on soil health.
Actually, they take a few years to decompose and initially take nitrogen from the soil during the decomposition process!
Plastic Bottles from Carbon Dioxide and a Furfural Derivative
What a brilliant pathway, to use CO2 and a furfural derivative, which is made from non-food agricultural residues, instead of food-based feedstock!
Carbon Capture, Storage & Energy Saving (an idea)
Any material that is made from furfural and that lasts ‘forever’, is a form of carbon storage
