Recycled PET turned into resin and tested in carbon fibre composite
Recycled PET as a resin feedstock for carbon fibre parts is a neat idea, but the record gives no scale, methods or results to judge it by. One journal paper; nothing to act on yet.

Lab panels of recycled PET cladding tested for strength and heat
Small lab panels only, and cladding that melts at 300 °C is far from what facade fire rules expect. Interesting as a use for waste plastic and tyres; nothing to act on yet.
EU fixes anti-dumping duties on Chinese polyester spunbond for five years
The duties apply at EU borders, not UK ones, but EU-made roofing membranes on Chinese polyester carriers could rise in price as makers switch supply, and UK buyers may see some of that. On roofing jobs, check where the specified membrane is made and ask suppliers how long quotes will hold.
