Avantium signed a strategic supply agreement (conditional to Financial Close) with Tereos Cooperative group, whereby Avantium Renewable Polymers will purchase high fructose syrup made from European wheat as the feedstock for the planned FDCA (furandicarboxylic acid) Flagship Plant in Delfzijl. The multi-year agreement secures 100% bio-based and local feedstock for the flagship plant. Avantium's FDCA Flagship Plant will be the world's first factory to produce FDCA (furandicarboxylic acid) on a commercial scale, with a capacity of 5 kiloton per annum. FDCA is the key building block of the 100% plant-based, recyclable plastic material PEF (polyethylene furanoate) which also has functional advantages compared with fossil fuel derived plastics.
