First Conference with a focus on PEF

PEF (polyethylene furanoate) is a novel polyester, produced from 100 % plant-based raw materials. 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 (superior) properties. The material is recyclable (to some degree together with PET) and is regarded as the packaging material of the future, particularly in the food and beverage sector but also for textiles and more.

Together with PEFerence, Renewable Carbon Plastics is organizing this PEF focussed event. The global conference offers high-class presentations from top individuals in the industry from the complete value chain. The event will cover HMF, FDCA, and PEF, as well as applications and end-of-life solutions. There will also be excellent networking opportunities along with a table-top exhibition.

You can still sign up to join the event, online or in person – all presentations will be recorded and made available to all conference attendees after the event. AT
