Abstract

This invention relates to a method for recycling a polyester chip which comprises providing a polyester chip (a), polyol (b) and polybasic acid (c), subjecting said (a) and said (b) to transesterification reaction and reacting it with said (c) to give a reconstituted polyester resin, the total number of moles of hydroxyl group being not less than 1.03 times the total number of moles of carboxyl group in the material for the production of said reconstituted polyester resin; and a method for recycling a polyester chip which comprises providing said (a), (b) and (c) and, with the total of (a), (b) and (c), subjecting said (a) and said (c) to transesterification reaction and reacting it with said (b) to give a reconstituted polyester resin, the total number of moles of hydroxyl group being not less than 1.03 times the total number of moles of carboxyl group in the material for the production of said reconstituted polyester resin.
