PEF can become the ‘standard in the food and drink industry’, says plastics producer The use of PEF plastic – which is made entirely from plants, is fully recyclable and which degrades in nature much faster than normal plastics has the potential to become the standard in the food and drink industry, claims the company attempting to scale up the material. Dutch biochemical company Avantium says it is on track to open its first commercial production plant by the end of 2023. The facility – in Delfzijl, the Netherlands, will produce 5,000 metric tonnes of FDCA per annum. FDCA is the key building block for polyethylene furanoate (PEF), a 100% plant-based, fully recyclable biopolyester. According to Avantium, PEF has the potential to replace various packaging materials such as PET, glass or aluminium in typical applications like bottles for soft drinks, water, alcoholic beverages and fruit juices. It expects bottles made with PEF to appear in Europe
