Avantium is in the final stretch of commissioning the world’s first commercial-scale FDCA plant in Delfzijl. After resolving titanium weld issues that pushed the timeline to mid-2026, the Dutch company is on track to begin commercial PEF sales in H2 2026.

Packamama secures a capacity reservation agreement with Avantium to utilize ReLeaf PEF for manufacturing the world’s first 100% plant-based, high-barrier wine bottles.
