A container made of, e.g., polyethylene terephthalate is pulverized and decomposed in the presence of a catalyst by the use of a solvent such as an alcohol or glycol to obtain crude bishydroxyalkyl terephthalate. This crude bishydroxyalkyl terephthalate is then purified by filtration, a treatment with activated carbon, and a treatment with ion-exchange resins. The bishydroxyalkyl terephthalate thus obtained is condensed to produce a container or the like made of polyethylene terephthalate.
