Scale-up upcycling of waste polyethylene terephthalate plastics to biodegradable polyglycolic acid plastics

Abstract Electrochemical upcycling of waste polyethylene terephthalate (PET) into biodegradable polyglycolic acid (PGA) is a promising solution to relieve plastic pollution. However, both the low current density and tedious separation process for target glycolic acid (GA) products in a flow electrol...
