Sustainable alternatives for fossil-based chemicals and materials include plastic bottles for drinks, films for food packaging and electronics, fibres for têxtiles and even material used in toys.

Avantium aims to be a world leader in renewable and sustainable chemistry and technology solutions and to commercialise them through partnerships and licensing. The company is best known for its PEF - a fully plant-based, sustainable plastic material - that can be used in packaging, têxtiles, film, and everyday items that match today’s world.
