Avantium is a leading technology development company that specializes in innovative chemistry technologies for the production of materials based on sustainable carbon feedstocks. They are at the forefront of developing and commercializing technologies that utilize carbon from biomass or from the air, such as CO2. Avantium's most advanced technology is the YXY® Technology, which converts plant-based sugars into furandicarboxylic acid (FDCA), a key building block for the sustainable bioplastic PEF (polyethylene furanoate).

Additionally, they have the Ray Technology™, which converts sugars into plant-based mono-ethylene glycol (plantMEG™) and plant-based mono-propylene glycol (plantMPG™). Avantium also employs Volta Technology, an electrochemistry process that converts CO2 into chemical building blocks and bioplastics. Their products, FDCA and plantMEG™, enable the production of PEF, a novel plastic that is 100% plant-based, recyclable, and degradable, while also providing superior performance.

Avantium's aim is to accelerate the transition to a fossil-free world by developing multiple technologies, including YXY®, RAY, Dawn, and Volta. They prioritize the most attractive opportunities through a comprehensive stage gate process. With a focus on sustainability, Avantium produces chemicals from renewable sources for various consumer goods like plastics and textiles.

They are committed to creating disruptive technologies and fostering a safe and vibrant environment to make a positive impact on the world
