(\u201cOrigin\u201d and \u201cOrigin Materials\u201d), a leading sustainable materials company based in the USA, today announced a partnership to accelerate the mass production of FDCA and PEF for use in advanced chemicals and plastics. The partnership aims to bring the technology platforms of both companies together in order to produce FDCA from sustainable wood residues on an industrial scale. FDCA (furandicarboxylic acid) is the key building block for the biopolymer PEF (polyethylene furanoate) \u2013 a 100% plant-based, fully recyclable plastic material, with superior functionality and a significantly reduced carbon footprint compared to conventional plastics. PEF can be used in a wide range of applications such as bottles, packaging, films, fibers and textiles, which represent major end-markets.<\/p>\n<p>More information can be found <a href=\"https:\/\/task42.ieabioenergy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2023\/03\/20230221-Avantium-and-Origin-Materials-to-Accelerate-the-Mass-Production-of-FDCA-and-PEF-for-Advanced-Chemicals-and-Plastics.pdf\" class=\"mtli_attachment mtli_pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Avantium N.V.
