The Building Materials Institute under the State Academy of Sciences has recently developed a technology for obtaining basic chemical goods from polyethylene terephthalate (PET) waste.

By applying an ultra-modern technology, the institute established PET pulverizing and alkaline reaction methods and a method of obtaining ethylene glycol, terephthalic acid, organic solvent and others from PET waste.

This new technology helps recycle PET waste as various basic chemical goods needed for the production of synthetic resin, adhesive, paint, etc.
