Abstract
The Cover Feature shows the in-situ product removal (ISPR) of monomers produced from the enzymatic depolymerization of poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) by using a membrane reactor, which leads to less caustic solution for pH maintenance, higher enzyme concentrations within the membrane, and increased PET depolymerization. This improves the environmental friendliness and energy efficiency of the process and addresses the pressing need for more sustainable solutions for plastic recycling. More information can be found in the Research Article by H.-W. Wong and co-workers.
