PEF (polyethylene furanoate) is a novel polyester, produced from 100 % plant-based raw materials. It is recyclable and is regarded as the packaging material of the future, particularly in the food and beverage sector but also for textiles and more.
PEF offers a unique performance and sustainability profile. PEF is often compared to PET due to its similar chemistry; both polyesters are produced from the monomers ethylene glycol (MEG) and an aromatic diacid (furandicarboxylic acid – FDCA or terephthalic acid respectively). Despite this similarity, however, PEF’s small molecular difference gives rise to a number of different properties.
Together with PEFerence, Renewable Carbon Plastics organized the 1st PEF World Congress. The global conference offered high-class presentations from top individuals in the industry from the complete value chain. The event covered HMF, FDCA, and PEF, as well as applications and end-of-life solutions. There were also excellent networking opportunities along with a table-top exhibition.
The 2 full-day-conference was held on 30/31 October 2024 in Düsseldorf, Germany (or online = hybrid event).
All presentations were recorded for a convenient "video-on-demand" streaming for at least a month after the event. Access to the recordings is still available. Just click here
Networking among ALL attendees and speakers will be facilitated with the WHOVA app and platform (accessible until end of Jan 2025).
