Avantium is at the forefront of sustainable chemistry, focusing on innovative technologies that promote a fossil-free world. One of their key products is PEF (polyethylene furanoate), a high-quality, recyclable polymer derived from plant-based FDCA (furandicarboxylic acid). PEF is designed for various applications, including packaging and textiles, and is noted for its superior performance compared to traditional plastics. Additionally, Avantium is pioneering CO₂-based polyesters and chemicals through an electrochemical conversion process that transforms carbon dioxide into valuable materials, contributing to a reduction in greenhouse gas emissions.

Another significant advancement from Avantium is PlantMEG, a renewable building block for PET and PEF, which is entirely plant-based and supports a lower carbon footprint. These technologies are part of Avantium's broader commitment to sustainability, aiming to close the loop on waste and foster a circular economy. By converting renewable resources into high-value products, Avantium is not only addressing the challenges of plastic pollution but also leading the transition towards more sustainable industrial practices.

Avantium develops and commercialises innovative chemistry technologies in order to produce chemicals and materials based on renewable feedstock instead of fossil resources. Our two lead products are FDCA  and plantMEG™. Together, they enable the production of the novel plastic PEF: 100% plant-based, recyclable and degradable with superior performance. Avantium also provides advanced catalysis products and services to organisations who desire to gain efficiency in their processes.
