The high demand for recycled polyethylene terephthalate (rPET) driven by an increase in environmental awareness, the application of more restrictive legislations, together with large generation post-consumer PET plastic waste, has resulted urgent need efficient recycling processes. In this work, alkaline hydrolysis is presented as a promising chemical alternative tray waste. depolymerization reactions were carried out under mild conditions (80–100 ºC and atmospheric pressure) using tributylhexadecylphosphonium bromide quaternary salt (TBHDPB) catalyst. Several operating variables studied based on conversion terephthalic acid (TPA) yield criteria: (i) catalyst mass ratio TBHDPB to (0–0.2); (ii) particle size (0.5–10 mm); (iii) stirring rate (350–700 rpm); and, (iv) temperature °C). A good compromise between (99.9%) TPA (93.5%) was established after 4 h reaction, following conditions: TBHDPB:PET ratio, 0.2; 100 °C; size, 1–1.4 mm; rate, 525 rpm. addition, experimental kinetic data correctly fits proposed shrinking core model. Activation energy values 60 57.4 kJ mol-1 non-catalyzed catalyzed reactions, respectively, which implies that does not apparently modify reaction mechanism.
