\"Avantium-30-07-2020-min\"<\/p>\n

Avantium Renewable Polymers, a 100% subsidiary of Avantium, plans to build a flagship plant for the production of FDCA (furandicarboxylic acid), a monomer for high performance polyesters such as PEF (polyethylene furanoate). The plant, which is aimed to be on-stream at the start of 2023, will have a nameplate capacity of 5 metric kilotons per year and be located in Delfzijl, the Netherlands.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Avantium is already producing FDCA and PEF at a smaller scale from its pilot plant in the Netherlands and is using this material to accelerate the market introduction of various high-value applications, including those in packaging. Made from renewable resources, compatible with existing recycling equipment and with outstanding barrier properties (approximately 10 times better O2<\/sub> and 20 times better CO2<\/sub> barriers with respect to PET \/1\/, PEF is full of potential promise: not as a replacement for PET, but as a side-by-side complementary technology, enabling a full polyester solution for applications where both the performance and sustainability of the incumbent is not sufficient.<\/p>\n
