Save the date and register to the next PEFerence webinar! This time, Pia Skoczinski from nova-Institute will give a sophisticated insight into the dynamically growing market of bio-based building blocks and polymers on the 6th May (10 to 11 am CET). Besides the well-known PHA and PLA, a highlight will be set on PEF and FDCA!

The PEFerence consortium aims to replace a significant share of fossil-based polyesters, such as polyethylene terephthalate (PET), and packaging materials like glass and metal with 100% bio-based furanics polyesters. PEFerence establishes a unique, industrial scale, cost-effective flagship plant to convert plant-based sugars into FDCA (furandicarboxylic acid), the building block of PEF (polyethylene furanoate): a plant-based, fully recyclable plastic material with superior performance and significantly reduced carbon footprint compared to conventional plastics. PEF can be used in a wide range of applications such as bottles, packaging, films, fibres and textiles.
