The BHET Task Force is a consortium gathering PETCORE EUROPE members active in the development of the technology to recycle PET via Depolymerisation to BHET by Glycolysis.
PETCORE EUROPE acts as a developer for Consortium members for the submission of a Novel Technology Dossier under EU 2022/1616 regulation. The aim is to have PET depolymerisation recycling to BHET recognised as a suitable technology. In parallel, the Task Force applies for the registration of BHET under EU 10/2011.
