The present invention relates in a first aspect to a process for
recovery of a
polyethylene terephthalate (based
polymer from a polymeric material. A second aspect of the invention is directed to polyalkylene terephthalate based
polymer obtained or obtainable from the process of the first aspect, and a third aspect relates to the use of the polyalkylene terephthalate based
polymer of the second aspect for
textile applications,
fiber applications, packaging applications, plastic applications, automotive applications, electronic applications, preferably for the production of
food packaging, beverage packaging, clothing, foot wear, wire, cable, wherein preferably for
textile applications,
fiber applications, packaging applications, plastic applications, more preferably for the production of
food packaging, beverage packaging, clothing and foot wear. A fourth aspect of the invention is related to a method for preparing a product comprising (I) providing polyalkylene terephthalate based polymer of the second aspect; and (II) preparing a
textile, a
fiber, a packaging, a plastic, an automotive part, an electronic part from the polyalkylene terephthalate based polymer provided in (I). A fifth aspect is related to a process, preferably according to the first aspect, comprising the further step of converting a residue obtainable by or obtained by the process according to the first aspect to obtain one or more
monomer(s). In a sixth aspect, the invention is related to a process comprising conversion of a residue obtainable by or obtained by the process according to the first aspect to obtain one or more
monomer, polymer or polymer product.
