Researchers focus on alternative to PET called polyethylene furandicarboxylaxte

Q.  What is an alternative to PET plastic, PEF’s full form according to researchers,
- Published on 11 Mar 16

a. polyethylene furandicarboxylin
b. polyethylene farandicarboxylate
c. polyethylene furandicarboxylaxte
d. none of the above

ANSWER: polyethylene furandicarboxylaxte
 
PEF is made from ethylene glycol and a compound FDCA or 2-5-Furandicarboxylic acid (FDCA). PEF is an attractive replacement for PET, because FDCA can be sourced from biomass instead of petroleum. Researchers have also been experimenting on a compound made from agricultural waste called furfural.
