This review paper provides a detailed analysis of PET (polyethylene terephthalate) bottle recycling in Japan. Japan is a global leader in PET bottle recycling due to its advanced regulatory framework and proactive industry initiatives. Japan's success attributes to the widespread adoption of bottle-to-bottle recycling, driven by the beverage industry's commitment to sustainability. By utilizing post-consumer PET bottle recovery and food-grade mechanical recycling technologies, Japan has achieved significant milestones in PET bottle recycling. This paper examines regulatory frameworks, collection systems, reprocessing facilities, and food safety assessments to highlight Japan's innovative approaches to PET bottle recycling and their impact on global sustainability efforts. Drawing parallels with Korea's early stages of PET recycling, it suggests involving major beverage companies and re-evaluating regulations to promote bottle-to-bottle recycling. The focus is on the implications for Korea to promote circular economy principles in plastic recycling.

In this study, we introduce indium tin oxide (ITO) thin films grown by using a low-frequency magnetron sputtering method (LFMSM). Characteristics of the ITO thin films deposited on polyethersulfone (PES) and polyethylene terephthalate (PET) substrates are investigated. Experiments were carried out as a function of deposition time. ITO thin films on polymer substrates revealed amorphous structure. The optical, the electrical and structural properties of the films on PES substrate are better than those on PET substrates.

In order to obtain tasic information for solvent dyeing, polyethylene terephthalate (PET) films was pretreated with water, tetrachloroethylene (TCE) and water/TCE emulsion for three hours at $140^{\circ}C$ for stabilizing the substrate. By film roll cyliderical method, Disperse Red 60, Disperse Yellow 42, and Disperse Blue 27 were diffused in the films and examined dyeing properties. The results are summarized as follows; 1) Diffusion coefficient increases in the order, waterTCE>water/TCE 2) A linear relationship between diffusion coefficient and shrinkage was Observed 3) The temperature dependence of the diffusion coefficient can't be expressed by WLF equation.

Previous studies demonstrated that laser ablation under transparent liquid can result in ablation enhancement and particle removal from the surface. Although the ablation enhancement by liquid is already known for semiconductor and metal, the phenomena of polymer ablation have not been studied. In this work, tile liquid-assisted excimer laser ablation process is examined for polymer materials, such as polyethylene terephthalate (PET), polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) with emphasis on ablation enhancement and surface topography. In the case of PET and PMMA, the effect of liquid is analyzed both for thin water film and bulk water. The results show that application of liquid increases the ablation rate of PMMA while that of PET remains unchanged even in the liquid-assisted process. However, the surface roughness is generally deteriorated in the liquid-assisted process. The surface topography is found to be strongly dependent on the method of liquid application, i.e., thin film or bulk liquid.

시설원예의 현대화에 따른 각종 피복자재의 도입ㆍ개발과 시설재배 면적의 급속한 증가로 인해 그에 따른 피복자재의 광환경 특성이 검토되지 않고 피복자재가 이용되고 있다. 따라서 본 연구는 연질필름중 가장 피복재배면적이 많은 PE(Polyethylene)필름과 경질판PC (Polycarbonate), PET (Poyethylene terephthalate), 유리 피복자재의 광환경 개선을 위한 기초 연구로 실시하였다. 1. 피복자재별 광투과율은 PE가 약 80%, 유리가 약 90%로, 유리 온실은 완공후 4년이하 경과했음에도 약 5개월 된 PE 보다 광투과율이 높았다. 2. 피복자재별 광반사율은 PE가 가장 높은 약 3% 였고 PC>PET>유리의 순으로 나타났다. 3. 피복자재별 광흡수율은 PE는 전파장에 걸쳐 고루 흡수되었으나 PC, PET는 자외선의 흡수가 많았다. 4. 피복자재별 토마토 군락내 광분포에서 제 1과방의 광량은 시설내 투과일사의 약 15%정도였다. 5. 피복자재별 토마토엽의 증산속도는 PE가 다소 낮았으나 처리간 큰 차이는 없었다. 6. 수경재배의 토마토의 광합성속도가 토경재배 보다 낮았다.

RF 부가형 DC 마그네트론 스퍼터링 공정을 이용하여 상온에서 Indium tin oxide (ITO) 박막을 PET (polyethylene terephthalate) 기판 위에 증착하였다. 전체 파워는 70W로 유지하고 RF/ (DC+RF) 파워율은 0 %에서 100 %까지 20% 비율로 증가시켰다. 50 %의 RF/(RF+DC) 파워율에 의해 증착된 ITO 박막에서 상대적으로 낮은 비저항을 얻을 수 있었으며, bending test에 의한 기계적 내구성 또한 가장 우수하였다.

Previous studies demonstrated that laser ablation under transparent liquid can result in ablation enhacement and particle removal from the surface. In this work, the liquid-assisted excimer laser ablation process is examined fer polyethylene terephthalate (PET), polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA), Si, and alumina with emphasis on ablation enhacement, surface topography, and debris formation. In the case of PET and PMMA, the effect of liquid is analyzed both fer thin water film and bulk water. As the ablation enhanement by liquid is already known for Si and alumina, the analysis focuses on surface topography and debris formation resulting from the liquid-assisted laser ablation process. The results show that application of liquid increases the ablation rate of PMMA while that of PET remains unchanged even in the liquid-assisted process. It is also revealed that the liquid can significantly improve the surface quality by reducing the debris deposition. However, the surface roughness is generally deteriorated in the liquid-assisted process. The surface toporaphy is found to be strongly dependent on the method of liquid application, i.e., thin film or bulk liquid.

High performance resistive type touch panel was fabricated on flexible polyethylene terephthalate (PET) substrates coated with Al- and Ga-codoped ZnO (AGZO) films. The AGZO films were deposited by roll-to-roll direct current magnetron sputter at room temperature. The AGZO thin films on PET substrates showed high transparency (> 85 % at 550 nm) and low sheet resistance (450 ${\Omega}$/sq.). These values were similar to those of commercial ITO films used for resistive type touch panel.

A possibility of manufacturing bendable ac-PDP using aluminum electrode with anodic aluminum oxide dielectric material system on PET film substrate was explored. For this structure, PET film with fence-structured aluminum electrodes was used for front plate and PET film with barrier ribs of UV curable resin for the rear plate. The results demonstrate that it is feasible to manufacture the bendable ac-PDPs using those material system and are expected to expand the applications of plasma display panels.

Dry processes like evaporation and sputtering in vacuum chamber are difficult to make a uniform, large area and high quality film on thin PET substrate because of PET degradation and bad adhesion. On the other hand, wet processes like electro or electroless plating have complex processes and require high environmental cost. In this study, we successfully prepared $2{\mu}m$ Zn/Cu/Ni multilayers coated on $12{\mu}m$ polyethylene terephthalate (PET) substrate by using dry-wet mixing processes. Their surface electric resistances were evaluated around $0.2{\Omega}$ by using 4 probe measurements. Furthermore, their corrosion resistance also evaluated by natural potential test and compared with other wet, dry and mixing process samples.
