    摘要: A method for producing a water-based polyester resin includes a first step and a second step. The first step includes causing an ester formation reaction and a depolymerization reaction using a recycled polyester, a polycarboxylic acid component including a polycarboxylic acid residue and excluding terephthalic acid, and a polyalcohol component. The second step includes causing a polycondensation reaction by reducing pressure. The first step includes using: the recycled polyester to such an amount that makes proportion of a terephthalic acid residue equal to or greater than 20% by mass and equal to or less than 72% by mass; and a metal-sulfonate-group-containing polycarboxylic acid compound to such an amount that makes proportion of the metal-sulfonate-group-containing polycarboxylic acid residue equal to or greater than 5% by mass and equal to or less than 32% by mass. The resin thus produced has an acid value equal to or less than 10 mgKOH/g.
