From plastic waste to bioprocesses: Using ethylene glycol from polyethylene terephthalate biodegradation to fuel Escherichia coli metabolism and produce value-added compounds

Polyethylene Terephthalate (PET) is a petroleum-based plastic polymer that, by design, can last decades, if not hundreds of years, when released into the environment through plastic waste leakage. In the pursuit of sustainable solutions to plastic waste recycling and repurposing, the enzymatic depol...
