UV Pretreatment Impairs the Enzymatic Degradation of Polyethylene Terephthalate

The biocatalytic degradation of polyethylene terephthalate (PET) emerged recently as a promising alternative plastic recycling method. However, limited activity of previously known enzymes against post-consumer PET materials still prevents the application on an industrial scale. In this study, the i...
