releaf® by avantium

After two decades of relentless research and innovation, We are proud to introduce you to releaf®- Avantium's solution to the world's plastic problem. Releaf isn't just a concept🧚♂️; it's a tangible reality. Made from PEF (polyethylene furanoate), Releaf offers a 100% 🌿plant-based, fully circular 💚, and fossil-free alternative to conventional plastics. Our newly opened FDCA Flagship Plant in Delfzijl stands as testament to Releaf's commercial viability. This facility marks a significant milestone in our journey to transform the plastics industry. Releaf bridges the gap between environmental responsibility and practical necessity. It's not about eliminating plastics, but reimagining them for a sustainable future. From packaging to textiles, Releaf is set to revolutionize multiple industries. Keep an eye out 🤓- this game-changing material will soon be on shelves near you. We believe in creating solutions, not just ideas. So, watch out for this space as we usher in a new era of eco-friendly plastics 💚❇🌏 . #Releaf #SustainablePlastics #Avantium #CircularEconomy #Innovation

The Dutch government, Ministerie van Infrastructuur en Waterstaat and Ministerie van Klimaat en Groene Groei created a vision about sustainable carbon use in the chemical industry. Nice to see that #PEF is included as one of the sustainable future building blocks in the chemical industry. #PEF, #releaf® by avantium is a 100% bio-based alternative for PET with superior properties. Enhancing the shelf life of products while reducing the amount of material needed to pack your products.

*A Repost from Avantium: “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. ------ This #polycottonrecycling breakthrough is a perfect match for releaf®'s #PEF. By breaking down the cotton in polycotton waste into simple sugars, we create the building blocks needed to make releaf® - a 100% plant-based, recyclable plastic. This means old textiles can help make new, sustainable materials, closing the loop and giving waste a second life! Watch the video to see how we're turning textile waste into the future of sustainable materials.

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

🌍 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.
