Innovation-driven chemical technologies
Avantium develops innovative chemistry technologies across industry value chains in order to produce chemicals and materials based on renewable feedstock instead of fossil resources.
Avantium also provides advanced catalysis products and services to organisations who desire to gain efficiency in their processes.
Avantium produces chemicals from renewable sources for a wide range of consumer goods such as plastics and textiles. Our two lead products are FDCA and plantMEG™. Together, they enable the production of the novel plastic PEF: 100% plant-based, recyclable and degradable with superior performance.

Accelerating the transition to a fossil-free world
Avantium currently owns three technologies that are at pilot phase or beyond – YXY® Technology, RAY Technology™ and Dawn Technology™.
Furthermore, Avantium runs a rigorous portfolio management process and has a pipeline of new projects that are at lab stages. We pursue the most attractive opportunities through a stage gate process.
YXY
Producing FDCA, the key building block for PEF, a novel plant-based plastic with a powerful combination of environmental and performance features.
