Avantium

We’re partnering with Royal Auping, Muller Textiles, ANTEX, and Monosuisse to develop PEF-based spacer fabrics—an important step toward more sustainable, breathable, high-performance materials in premium mattresses. The consortium has successfully completed a proof of concept and is now moving into prototype development and scaling production. This shows what’s possible when innovation in circular polymers meets deep expertise in textiles. By replacing fossil-based materials with releaf® by avantium, we’re helping reshape the future of sleep, without compromising on comfort or performance. 🌍 Full release: https://lnkd.in/eWkjS6ev #EcoDesign #FutureOfMaterials #SustainableInnovation

“The recycling method we've created is a cure to a disease — but we also need to tackle the disease before it happens.” This powerful insight from Avantium PhD candidate Nienke Leenders highlights the urgency and potential behind our revolutionary breakthrough in polycotton textile recycling. Watch our new mini-documentary to see how Nienke and our CTO, Gert-Jan Gruter, explain the groundbreaking process that's transforming the 50-million-tonne-a-year textile waste crisis into a circular solution. Discover how we're making sustainability scalable by separating polycotton waste fully into recyclable components and pioneering new bio-based materials like releaf® by avantium.

At Avantium, #EarthDay isn’t a once-a-year campaign. It’s the foundation of our business. Our mission is to replace fossil-based materials with circular, renewable alternatives. From releaf® — our high-performance, plant-based polymer — to technologies that convert CO₂ and textile waste into valuable materials, we’re proving chemistry can be a force for climate action. We’re not cleaning up the old economy. We’re building a better one. 🌱www.avantium.com #EarthDay2025 #GreenChemistry #CircularEconomy

releaf®'s #PEF is like PET’s cooler sibling - not so different, but just enough to stand out. They look alike, feel alike, and even recycle ♻️ alike, but PEF has a secret: it’s made from plants ☘️, not oil. That means it’s better for the planet, plus it keeps stuff fresher for longer thanks to its superpower-level barrier properties. It’s PET, but smarter and greener - proof that sometimes being the same is what makes you truly unique. ➡️ www.releaf.bio Avantium #avantium #releaf #plantbasedplastic #biobasedeconomy #circulareconomy #greentech #sustainabledesign

Vandaag is het #girlsday2025! We hebben 24 jonge dames mogen verwelkomen en hen laten kennismaken met wetenschap en technologie. Door middel van verschillende experimenten hebben we laten zien hoe waardevol en impactvol een carrière in bèta/techniek kan zijn. Dank aan Centrum JongerenCommunicatie Chemie voor het beschikbaar stellen van de experimenten. Tot de volgende keer! 🔬

🌍 Tackling climate change requires innovation and collaboration, and CO₂ adsorption is a crucial tool in this fight. While reducing emissions is essential, addressing the excess CO₂ in the atmosphere is critical to meeting 1.5°C climate targets.   At Avantium R&D Solutions, we empower companies working on carbon capture technologies to achieve optimal results. Our patented microfluidic technology enables unparalleled precision in testing adsorbent materials, ensuring consistent CO₂ levels for every experiment. By allowing simultaneous testing of 4, 8, or 16 materials under identical conditions, our system facilitates the optimal selection of DAC and Carbon Capture adsorbents by delivering precise comparisons of materials, helping to identify the most effective adsorbents. Ready to accelerate your R&D? Contact us to explore how we can drive innovation and create a greener future together.

Your cold brew deserves better than just a bottle🌿☕️ releaf®'s plant-based #PEF bottles keep coffee fresher, longer - locking in flavor and locking out air (no funky aftertastes!). They’re tough, but light enough for transport, eco-friendly by design, and perfect for brands who care about taste and the planet.♻️ Why settle for ordinary packaging when you can brew extraordinary? 💬 Let’s chat! hello@releaf.bio #SustainableBrews #ColdBrewBetter #EcoPackaging #Biobasedeconomy #Plantbasedpackaging #Plantbasedplastic #Avantium Avantium #releaf

🌍 Today, Avantium, together with four other industry leaders, presented a petition to the Dutch Parliament on behalf of Platform Groene Chemie, Nieuwe Economie (GCNE) and eight provinces. 🌍 The petition emphasizes the need for continuous, predictable, and future-oriented government policies to make Europe competitive globally and give Dutch companies an edge within Europe. A sufficient market ensures that Dutch gamechangers can scale up and provides large companies with the clarity needed for long-term investments rather than short-term gains. Swift implementation of a National Circular Plastics Norm is crucial for this. Our Message: - Recycling innovators are struggling; the government must act now to prevent bankruptcies and dependence on non-European countries and fossil fuels. - Swift implementation of a robust National Circular Plastics Norm is essential to stimulate a sufficient market for companies. - Begin with a smaller percentage than initially planned, implement obligations at the right points in the supply chain, provide positive incentives, focus on European recycled and biobased materials with transparent origins and clear quality, and align as closely as legally possible with the European 2030 standards.
