While conventionally viewed as a pollutant, PET's chemical composition, rich in carbon and low in mineral impurities, makes it a valuable raw material for the synthesis of carbonaceous adsorbents. This review examines the emerging strategies for converting PET waste into high-performance adsorbents for wastewater treatment applications, with an emphasis on scalable, energy-efficient methods such as pyrolysis, hydrothermal carbonization, catalytic conversion, and solvothermal processing. Particular attention is given to PET-derived porous carbons, nanocomposites, and metal–organic framework (MOF)-based materials, which exhibit high surface areas, tailored pore structures, and notable adsorption capacities for a diverse spectrum of pollutants, including pharmaceuticals, endocrine disruptors, dyes, pesticides, and heavy metals. By consolidating recent advances, this review underscores the dual environmental benefit of mitigating plastic pollution and enhancing wastewater remediation technologies.

While polypropylene-based TPVs are well studied and partly commercialized, polyethylene-based systems remain underexplored. Polypropylene tends to degrade during dynamic vulcanization due to its tertiary carbon atoms, requiring stabilizers and complicating processing. In contrast, polyethylene offers better thermal stability and simpler processing, making it a promising alternative for developing cost-effective and high-performance TPVs. In this study, a series of TPVs based on polyolefin elastomer (POE) and high-density polyethylene (HDPE) were prepared via dynamic vulcanization using 2,5-dimethyl-2,5-di(tert-butylperoxy)hexane (DBPH) as a crosslinking agent under optimized conditions. The effects of varying rubber-to-plastic ratios on the mechanical, rheological, and thermal properties were systematically investigated. As the POE content increased, torque and gel content rose, while melting/crystallization temperatures and crystallinity decreased. At a rubber-to-plastic ratio of 80:20, the TPV exhibited the best overall performance, with a tensile strength of 4.8 MPa, elongation at break of 282%, and hysteresis loss of 55%. Rheological measurements revealed strong crosslinked networks and good processability under shear.
