Avantium has signed a conditional offtake agreement with Plastipak to purchase the 100% plant-based, recyclable polymer polyethylene furanoate (PEF) for F&B food packages for US consumers. Produced at Avantium’s FDCA Flagship Plant in Delfzij, the Netherlands, PEF is a plant-based polymer that can be recycled in existing PET recycling streams. Plastipak will use the material in designing and manufacturing rigid plastic containers for the F&B and consumer products industries.
