The collaboration focuses on technological exploration of chemically recycled PET (crPET) and polyethylene furanoate (PEF) materials. Kolon is pioneering an advanced recycling process to produce new PET from post-consumer bottles, fibers and flexible packaging. Using crPET supports Amcor’s commitment to integrating 30% post-consumer recycled (PCR) materials by 2030.
Kolon’s PEF material, a polyester structure similar to PET, will be sourced from 100% sustainable biomass and offers improved product protection. With a lower product carbon footprint*, PEF will also contribute to Amcor’s net-zero ambitions by 2050.
