The excessive consumption of plastic packaging, especially those produced with polyethylene terephthalate (PET), and the fact that most of them are destined for garbage have made such packaging a worrying environmental liability. Their inadequate disposal promotes the pollution of soils, watercourses, and oceans, and even the presence of component materials of these packages in the human body, in the form of microplastics, has been observed. As research in the area advances, greater concerns arise, as more problems arising from the excessive use and disposal of plastics are identified. Looking for an alternative for the destination of this material, a technology was developed for the production of materials with characteristics similar to 3D graphene. This carbon material has qualities and versatility that allow its wide use in several applications and is produced using PET as a carbon precursor. This work presents this production technology with possible variables, the characterization of the produced materials, and their potential applications. For the electronics area, such as supercapacitors, improvement points needed for validation were observed. For application as an adsorbent and use in the treatment of industrial effluents when using sand covered by carbon material, the results demonstrated efficiency. The material proved to be a potential destination for PET, as an alternative to reduce this environmental liability.
