The present invention relates to polyester polyols made from aromatic polyacid sources such as thermoplastic polyesters. The polyols can be made by heating a thermoplastic polyester such as virgin polyethylene terephthalate, recycled polyethylene terephthalate, or mixtures thereof, with a glycol to give a digested intermediate which is then reacted with a digestible polymer, which can be obtained from various recycle waste streams. The polyester polyols comprise a glycol-digested polyacid source and a further digestible polymer. The polyester polyols provide a sustainable alternative to petrochemical or biochemical based polyester polyols. 1. A polyester polyol made by a process comprising:(a) heating an aromatic polyacid source with a glycol to give a digested intermediate; and(b) reacting the resulting digested intermediate with a digestible polymer containing a functional group selected from an ester, amide, ether, carbonate, urea, carbamate, glycoside, and isocyanurate, or combinations thereof;wherein the molar ratio of glycol to aromatic polyacid source is at least 0.8, and the polyol has a hydroxyl number within the range of about 10 to about 800 mg KOH/g.2. The polyester polyol according to wherein the aromatic polyacid source is a thermoplastic polyester.3. The polyester polyol according to wherein the thermoplastic polyester is selected from copolymers of(a) acids selected from terephathlic acid, 2,5-furandicarboxylic acid, isophthalic acid, dihydroferulic acid, salts thereof, C1-C6 monoesters thereof, C1-C6 diesters thereof, and combinations thereof; and(b) diols selected from ethylene glycol, 1,2-propanediol, 1,3-propanediol, 1,2-butanediol, 1,3-butanediol, 1,4-butanediol, 2,3-butanediol, 1,3-cyclohexane diol, 1,4-cyclohexane diol, 1,3-cycohexanedimethanol, 1,4-cyclohexanedimethanol, 2,2,4,4-tetramethyl-1,3-cyclobutane diol, and combinations thereof.4. The polyester polyol according to wherein the thermoplastic polyester is selected from polyethylene ...
