Abstract
A low-cost, scalable polyethylene terephthalate (PET) recycling method, detailed by Qingqing Mei et al. (e202503469), utilizes bio-based guaiacol and potassium bicarbonate to efficiently convert waste PET into high-value DMT. The artwork features a stylized tree intertwined with PET waste including bottles and textiles, symbolizing the connection between nature and science, while cyclical arrows emphasize PET recycling and sustainability.
