PEF for Bottle Applications (05 February 2024)
This free webinar gives you the opportunity to learn more about PEF in bottle application, i.e. material properties, processing and performance. For this, Ele de Boer (Avantium) and Josh Turner (BMT) presented their insights.
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.
