Significant cost advantages can be realised on an industrial scale, paving the way for competitively priced bio-based packaging solutions in the future.<\/p>\n<p>FDCA produced from 5-HMF allows for the production of bio-based PEF (polyethylene furanoate) and other materials. Thanks to a variety of sought after product advantages, these materials will help bio-based plastics to massively grow its share in the billion-dollar packaging market.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cExpanding the product portfolio to include FDCA is another important milestone for AVA Biochem. This will significantly accelerate market development of 100% bio-based plastic packaging based on PEF, a renewable replacement material for PET\u201d, explains Thomas Kl\u00e4usli, Chief Marketing Officer of the Swiss biochemical company.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>AVA Biochem, world leader in 5-HMF production, is expanding its product portfolio to include platform chemical FDCA (2,5-Furandicarboxylic acid).
