PEFerence: From bio-based feedstocks to FDCA and PEF! And how can we keep PEF in the loop?

The PEFerence consortium aims to replace a significant share of fossil-based polyesters, such as polyethylene terephthalate (PET), and packaging materials like glass and metal with 100 % bio-based furanics polyesters. PEFerence establishes a unique, industrial scale, cost-effective flagship plant to convert plant-based sugars into FDCA (furandicarboxylic acid), the building block of PEF (polyethylene furanoate): a plant-based, fully recyclable plastic material with superior performance and significantly reduced carbon footprint compared to conventional plastics. PEF can be used in a wide range of applications such as bottles, packaging, films, fibres and textiles.

This free webinar gives you the opportunity to learn about the path from innovation and technology development towards commercialization of PEF from Ed de Jong, VP Development at Avantium. Afterwards, Roy Visser, the Team Leader Application Development at Avantium, will give you new insights into PEF recycling. There will be time for your questions to be answered live by the experts.
