The Future of Plant-Based, Sustainable Plastics
Waste Management & Recycling
Avantium’s PEF (Polyethylene Furanoate) and FDCA (Furan-2,5-dicarboxylic Acid) are innovative bio-based materials designed to replace traditional plastics. PEF, made from plant-based FDCA, offers superior barrier properties, higher strength, and recyclability, making it ideal for packaging, textiles, and films. Avantium’s YXY Technology converts plant sugars into FDCA, creating a sustainable alternative to fossil-based chemicals. With global partnerships and commercial-scale production underway, Avantium is leading the shift towards a circular, eco-friendly economy.
