Abstract
The hydrolytic depolymerisation of polylactic acid (PLA) and polyethylene terephthalate (PET) was accomplished in neat water using heterogenous ZnO catalysts. Up to 100% and 98% selectivity to the complete hydrolysis products was achieved at full PLA and PET conversion at 130 °C and 180 °C, respectively. The catalytic species could be partially (for PLA) recovered and reused, though with a gradual activity drop.
