FDCA is a building block for various products. Most significantly the polyester PEF, which is suitable for foil pouches, bottles for carbonated and non-carbonated soft drinks, water, dairy products, still and sports drinks and alcoholic beverages as well as personal and home care products.
PEF is a fascinating new material that offers superior characteristics in comparison to conventional plastics. It has improved barrier properties for gases like carbon dioxide and oxygen, leading to a longer shelf life of packaged products. It also offers a higher mechanical strength enabling thinner PEF packaging with fewer resources needed. PEF is 100% bio-based and fully recyclable and thus meets the standards of the circular economy.
After its commercialization, consumers will be able to use PEF packaging comfortably just the way they use conventional packaging materials today. However, there will be one major advantage: Consumers will know for sure that there is not a single drop of oil in bottles and foils produced with PEF.
