Various methods have been proposed to recover these materials, including a method in which polyester waste is depolymerized with excess ethylene glycol and then esterified with methanol to be recovered as dimethyl terephthalate, or a method in which polyester waste is recovered as dimethyl terephthalate using a reaction system between terephthalic acid and ethylene glycol. There are methods such as directly adding polyester waste.

However, the former method was economically disadvantageous due to the large equipment costs, material and chemical costs, labor costs, etc. associated with bypassing recovery steps such as the depolymerization step using ethylene glycol and the esterification step using methanol.

In addition, while the latter does not require a bypass process like the former, the reaction rate is reduced by the addition of polyester waste, and in particular, the filament layer after oil treatment, which occurs in the silk spinning process, is formed due to the mixing of oil. At present, the polyester used in this process is severely contaminated and cannot be put to practical use.
