## Abstract A method of recycling postconsumer poly(ethylene terephthalate (PET) using transesterification was studied. Shredded flakes of postconsumer PET waste were transesterified with higher diols, such as 1,4‐butanediol, 1,4‐cyclohexane dimethanol, and 1,6‐hexanediol, to yield copolyesters in
## Abstract Recycled bottle‐grade PET (rPET) is a valuable low‐cost polymeric material. However, enhancement of its mechanical properties is necessary for many applications. This work is focused on clay‐reinforced/compatibilized rPET/elastomer system. Although the clay addition to various rPET/elas
