Avantium N.V. has signed a conditional offtake agreement with Hoogesteger, a producer of fresh cold-pressed juices in the Netherlands. Hoogesteger will purchase the 100% plant-based, recyclable polymer PEF (polyetehylene furanoate) from Avantium’s FDCA Flagship Plant for the use in bottles for its fresh juices made from ultra-fresh vegetables, fruit and fresh herbs.

Avantium’s PEF, branded as releaf®, is a 100% plant-based, fully recyclable polymer and offers a renewable and circular packaging solution for Hoogesteger’s fresh cold-pressed juices. Releaf® has a significantly lower carbon footprint compared to traditional plastics like PET, glass, or aluminum. In addition, its oxygen barrier is ten times better than PET, which helps extend the shelf life of products.  

The PEF bottle for Hoogesteger's fresh juices will become available at Albert Heijn, the largest supermarket chain in the Netherlands, once Avantium’s commercial Flagship Plant is operational. It marks the third PEF-based application for Albert Heijn, following collaborations with Royal Vezet for salad bowls and Refresco for juice bottles. This partnership underscores Avantium's commitment to sustainable packaging solutions and Hoogesteger's dedication to delivering high-quality, innovative juices.
