For the first time, Avantium
is going to launch the collection of PEF T shirts. PEF bottles are recycled
into PEF fibers first and then utilized for the production of bio based shirts
through conventional processing of polyester. The technology and equipments
employed for the job are same as applied for the processing of polyester.
Polyethylene furanoate (PEF) resin is known as a completely degradable and
recyclable product so that it can work well for Eco friendly commercialization.
According to Tom van
Aken, the CEO Avantium, this exclusive step towards the development of bio
based T shirts is really a good example of development and commercialization of
PEF resin. The bio based T shirts processed out of this can be applicable for
sportswear series and sports apparel in many reputed outlets. The high
performing recyclable plastic material can give alternate for replacing non
biodegradable plastic material in future.
Avantium tied bond with
ALPLA, the European plastic converter for the development of PEF bottles and
with Wifag Polytype thermoformed PEF containers. Those PEF bottles are produced
by the combination of 2:5 furandicarboxylic (FDCA)
and monoethylene glycol. Earlier, the
company preferred employing PET product but soon they realized that PEF has
better quality to beat PET such as better barrier for CO2, water and oxygen,
decreased production cost and higher durability.
