Avantium is an innovation-driven pioneer in the emerging industry of renewable and sustainable chemistry. We offer unique technological solutions to address the global need to reduce plastic waste, tackle climate change and transition into a circular, sustainable bio-based economy. We develop and commercialise innovative chemistry technologies for the production of chemicals and materials based on renewable feedstock instead of fossil resources for a wide range of consumer goods such as plastics and textiles. Our two lead products are FDCA and Ray plantMEG™. Together, they enable the production of the plastic PEF: a novel, plant-based and fully recyclable plastic material with a powerful combination of environmental and performance features and with a wide range of applications – packaging, textiles, film, and many more.
Ray plantMEG™ is not only an important chemical building block for PEF, but Ray plantMEG™, along with PTA, can also produce bio-PET, creating great potential for existing PET markets. Fossil-based MEG, used to produce conventional PET, is a core component for everyday products such as plastic bottles, packaging, clothing, and furniture. With consumers making more environmentally conscious choices, the use of Ray plantMEG™ will provide brands with a sustainable, recyclable, and innovative alternative.
We believe in a fossil-free world. Let’s go!
Styrenics Circular Solutions (SCS) is the value chain initiative to make the circular economy a reality for styrenics through game-changing plastics-to-plastics recycling technologies and partner-driven solutions. It aims to transform the styrenics industry and has committed to:
- Realising the unique potential of styrenics for circularity by engaging with the entire value chain.
- Developing and scaling-up innovative technologies to recycle styrenics back into high-quality applications, even for food contact.
- Creating a market pull away from incineration and landfill towards game-changing recycling solutions for styrenics.
Due to polystyrene’s inherent unique circularity capacity, it has the opportunity not only to close the loop – but to extend closed loop food contact recycling beyond bottles to new food grade applications. From yoghurt pot to yoghurt pot again and again.

Burckhardt of Switzerland is an 80-years old, family-owned company located in Basel/Switzerland. It is run by the 3rd generation. Burckhardt of Switzerland is a global supplier (Europe, USA, China, India, Far East, etc.) of perforating units, perforating tools, perforating services as well as for perforation with the Easy Open System (EOS). We are a one-stop-shop partner and will support you through all questions and processes of rotary ping perforation and EOS perforation. Our latest offering, the perforation with the EOS, allows to perforate shrink films for packaging of bottles, cans, etc. in such a way, that consumer/end-user can easily open the pack and remove one or more bottles/cans. This by keeping the packaging stable and avoiding that the rest of bottles/cans get loose or fall out. To that we provide EOS with the option of an integrated handle (patented system). The handle would be of the same material as the shrink film. With this the complete package will be to 100% recyclable.
Our system with the integrated handle allows also to reduce the weight of the total package compared to existing solutions. And by keeping wrapped bottles/cans stable in the pack. This will have a big, positive impact in ecological as well as in economic sense. Our traditional rotary pin perforation stands for classical application such as perforation of fruit packaging, vegetables packaging, pet food, coffee capsules, bread bags and many more. For both types of application, we offer service perforation as well as R&D support to develop – jointly with you – new applications. Take advantage of our know-how and innovation.

Open Chemistry (IF – 1.554), published by De Gruyter, is a peer-reviewed, open access journal that publishes original research, reviews and short communications in the fields of chemistry in an ongoing way. Our central goal is to provide a hub for researchers working across all subjects to present their discoveries, and to be a forum for the discussion of the important issues in the field.
At the event we strive not only to bring you to the same location at the same time as your customers/suppliers/peers, we strive to ensure you meet face-to-face with each and every one of your target contacts and to provide you with the time you need to have multiple unhurried conversations with them and build a lasting business relationship:
- A pre-event informal introduction the evening before the conference
- A minimum of five hours’ networking built into the two day conference agenda
- A networking grid which enables you to make your target contacts aware you are looking for them
- The option to join either social drinks or dinner during the evening of Day One
- ACI’s on-site team will assist you in locating your hard-to-find target contacts & make face-to-face introductions
Of course, if there is anybody you are unable to meet over the two days, ACI’s event team will do their best to initiate contact after the event.
ACI is doing everything to ensure that all its events go ahead as advertised, returning to the much-missed and valuable face-to-face interaction as soon as possible. In order to ensure the events are delivered as safely as possible, venues are chosen and procedures are adjusted in line with the relevant local and regulations and guidelines.
These have been exceptionally challenging times with very fast-moving updates. As we get closer to an event we look at each one individually, paying careful heed to local regulations, but without ignoring the international situation. Whatever happens, ACI will safeguard the investments that attendees have made by either automatically moving it to the new dates of the event or a full credit will be provided for use when booking a future ACI event.
