Abstract:

In this review the various aspects related to the recycling of Waste PET bottles, their adequate methods of disposal and management are focused. PET is not as harmful as other polymeric waste but its huge volumes is a big threatening to environment, due non-biodegradability of it, contaminates soil, water and also becomes habitat of rodents/insects. These problems make necessity to recycled PET. Advanced technologies and methods of recycling of Post-consumer PET bottles, and their utilization after recycling, are discussed. This review summarizes the efforts of researchers on the proper utilization of rPET in road pavement, textile, concrete and feedstocks of many valuable chemicals, which has significant effect on environment pollution. The industrial utilization of rPET is cost effective, it is cheap as compared to virgin PET.
