In the Netherlands, Avantium has signed a capacity reservation agreement with Royal Hordijk, a Dutch producer of sustainable plastic packaging solutions.
Under this agreement, Hordijk has secured volumes of Avantium’s 100% plant-based and recyclable polymer PEF (polyethylene furanoate) from future license plants for use in trays and injection-molded packaging across a range of applications, including food, cosmetics, and other consumer goods.
By incorporating PEF into its product portfolio, Hordijk aims to further reduce the environmental footprint of its packaging while enhancing performance characteristics such as barrier properties and mechanical strength.
Rik Hennink, CEO at Hordijk said: “Partnering with Avantium to secure access to PEF aligns perfectly with our sustainability roadmap. We believe that PEF’s unique properties will allow us to offer our customers packaging solutions that are not only high-performing but also future-proof.”
