    China is the largest producer and consumer of polyethylene terephthalate (PET, the main component of plastic bottles).


    Recently, Chen Yong's team from the Technical Institute of Physics and Chemistry of the Chinese Academy of Sciences proposed an electrocatalytic reforming of waste PET to convert waste PET into sodium terephthalate, sodium oxalate and hydrogen with high economic added value


    This work proposes a new recycling route for waste plastics, and the relevant research results are published on Chemical Communications in the form of a cover article
