A method for recovering polymer from printed PETG substrates, comprising the steps of: providing a printed PETG substrate with the print layer comprising pigments and/or dyes dispersed in a binder matrix; chopping the substrate into irregular strips and; treating the chopped substrate with a treating composition; wherein the treating composition is an aqueous azeotrope of an organic low molecular weight, polar solvent selected from the group consisting of ketones, aldehydes, alcohols and esters. |
