Dumb q: could one stay the catalyst on everything, let the PET break down, then separate from the other polymers?

  This is actually one of the use cases the authors discuss in their paper. Sending mixed plastics through this process to extract the PET/PBT containing bits, and send the rest along their way.

    The top comment could have been prevented had the OC read the article...

      Apparently they did as they know that the article is about PET only.

      And as someone who is interested in the discussion and doesn't have time to read the article, I appreciate it.
