Abstract
The present invention provides a biodegradable recycled polyester resin and a production process therefor, wherein the polyester resin is inexpensive and economical due to use of recycled aromatic polyesters, and further, can solve problems of wastes by affording biodegradability to the aromatic polyester which has so far been assumed to have no biodegradability. The biodegradable recycled polyester resin, according to the present invention, is obtained by a process including the step of carrying out a reaction of a recycled aromatic polyester (A) with an aliphatic polyester (B) having a number-average molecular weight of 3,000 to 300,000 in a reaction ratio (weight ratio) of (A)/(B)=95/5 to 5/95, thereby affording biodegradability to the recycled aromatic polyester (A).
