The Commodore PET is a line of personal computers produced starting in 1977 by Commodore International. [3] A single all-in-one case combines a MOS Technology 6502 microprocessor, Commodore BASIC in read-only memory, keyboard, monochrome monitor, and, in early models, a cassette deck.

Building on R&D by IBM Research, this project aims to optimize key unit operations, scale-up, and demonstrate an integrated process for a novel organocatalytic PET chemical recycling method known as VolCat.

In the battle against the massive, growing issue of plastic pollution, scientists from IBM recently announced a new plastics recycling system called VolCat, short for volatile catalyst. The system is based on a catalytic chemical reactor that converts PET waste into raw plastic material.

Jul 17, 2019 · To transform plastic and increase recycling, San Francisco-based IBM has developed a new technology called VolCat, a catalytic chemical process that can turn PET into a renewable resource...

PET is a ubiquitous plastic used in beverage containers. Due to its semicrystalline nature, high melting point and relatively low Tg, processing of PET allows for exquisite control of percent crystallinity and size of crystallites.

Feb 11, 2019 · IBM's new recycling system VolCat can break down materials that are often difficult to recycle, and it could help cut down on fossil fuel emissions. With so many issues surrounding plastic recycling in the U.S., it's imperative that the country finds new ways to make recycling more accessible and sustainable.

Jul 17, 2019 · To transform plastic and increase recycling, IBM has developed a new technology called VolCat, a catalytic chemical process that can turn PET into a renewable resource through a combination of chemicals, heat and pressure.

May 22, 2019 · Called VolCat, short for “volatile catalyst,” the technology enables the recovery of the monomer bis(2-hydroxyethyl) terephthalate (BHET), which can then be used in the production of like-new PET. VolCat, IBM says, is cost-efficient, produces no waste and uses little heat.

Goal: Develop cost-effective biological methods to upcycle PET • Focus on polyethylene terephthalate (PET) that typically is landfilled, namely fibers in clothing and carpets, with bottles as a secondary substrate • Employ biological and chemo-catalytic strategies for PET breakdown and upcycling Outcome: 50% yield of a co-product (ß-

The TechnoDrive 65 PET machine evolved from Jomar’s TechnoDrive 65, which is a high-speed production machine first unveiled in 2018. It has a dry cycle time of only 1.8 seconds, making it one of the fastest injection blow molding machines in the industry.
