Abstract
Invited for this month's cover is the BOTTLE Consortium, featuring Gregg Beckham's laboratory from NREL and John McGeehan's laboratory from the University of Portsmouth. The cover image shows the application of poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) hydrolase enzymes on post-consumer waste plastic, towards the development of an enzymatic PET recycling strategy. The Full Paper itself is available at 10.1002/cssc.202101932.
