Per a new agreement, Plastipak will purchase Avantium’s plant-based, recyclable polyethylene furanoate (PEF) polymer to manufacture beverage and food packaging for distribution in the U.S.

Avantium has announced a collaboration with Albert Heijn, a store chain in the Netherlands that is part of Ahold Delhaize, to make packaging more sustainable through the use of Avantium's 100 percent plant-based and circular material polyethylene furanoate (PEF).
