Our world needs solutions, and we need them fast. A growing population and increasing standards of living drive our energy and material consumption. In order to keep global warming at bay, we need to reduce our carbon footprint substantially, in fact transition towards a climate neutral economy.
Avantium's Vision: "We believe in a fossil-free world, let's go"
We create disruptive technologies to facilitate the sustainability change and bring them to the world with partners to accelerate the transition towards renewable and circular business.
Where do you fit in?
Within the Business Unit Avantium Renewable Polymers (ARNP) we are working on the commercialization of Avantium's proprietary YXY plants-to-polymers Technology. This technology catalytically converts plant-based feedstock into FDCA (furandicarboxylic acid) and to materials such as the new material PEF (polyethylene furanoate). PEF enables the circular economy in fast moving consumers goods (FMCG) in packaging and apparel by combining 100% renewable and 100% recyclable with superior performance properties (barrier, mechanical and thermal) compared to today's widely used linear petroleum-based materials.
Avantium Renewable Polymers will open its Flagship Plant in 2024, producing 5kta of FDCA/PEF with the aim to demonstrate the technology and market at scale. As a technology developer, Avantium's business model is to sell licenses of the YXY Technology, which should lead to FDCA/PEF factories globally, operating at large scale (> 100 kta) at affordable prices. In February 2024 we announced our first licensee to Origin Materials, a like-minded frontrunner in the transition to sustainable materials, based in the USA. To develop the market, ARNP works together with its licensees and further leading companies in several industries (food & beverage, cosmetics, apparel, etc.).
