releaf® by avantium

Together with Avantium and Lacatoni, Casa da Malha explored the potential of releaf® by avantium PEF in textiles, transforming a plant-based polymer into knitted fabrics and real prototypes. At Casa da Malha, innovation is about more than discovering new materials. It is about testing, developing and finding ways to bring their potential into real life. Proud to be part of this collaboration and to help push textile innovation one step further.

A revolução começa numa T-shirt. Na Lacatoni, continuamos a explorar novas soluções que possam transformar a forma como desenvolvemos vestuário desportivo. Por isso, juntámo-nos à Avantium e à Casa da Malha - House of Knitting no desenvolvimento de protótipos têxteis à base de PEF, um polímero de origem vegetal, comercializado pela Avantium sob a marca releaf®️. Esta colaboração permite-nos avaliar o comportamento de materiais de nova geração em aplicações reais de sportswear, explorando novas possibilidades para uma indústria têxtil mais inovadora e responsável.

Thrilled to see releaf® by avantium PEF innovation come to life in collaboration with Casa da Malha - House of Knitting and Lacatoni. This partnership shows what’s possible when technology and textile expertise meet to shape the future of sustainable materials. If you’re in Milano this week, stop by Casa da Malha’s booth at Milano Unica! The team is showcasing the future of sustainable textiles, and Eduardo Henrique will be there to walk you through the prototypes. Many thanks to everyone involved for bringing this vision to reality.

🌿#PEF Takes Center Stage at Milan Polymer Days Conference 2026! It was an honor to represent Avantium as an invited speaker at the 10th edition of the Milan Polymer Days International Congress (MIPOL 2026), an established international forum bringing together researchers from academia and industry to exchange knowledge, discuss emerging trends, and shape the future of polymer science.  🎤I had the opportunity to share our research on PEF through my invited lecture: “Engineering Crystallization Kinetics in Poly(ethylene Furanoate) (PEF) through Trace-Level Modulation” The lecture highlighted how trace-level modulation of DEG-related effects influences PEF properties, providing insights into structure–property–performance relationships, with particular focus on crystallization kinetics and their relevance to polymer processing.  🌟Beyond the lecture, the releaf® by avantium PEF demonstrators—including bottles, films, filaments, jars, and textiles—showcased the potential of this 100% plant-based and recyclable polyester across a broad range of advanced applications, bridging fundamental polymer science with real-world material solutions and sparking many engaging discussions with professors, researchers, postdoctoral fellows, and PhD students during the conference. 🤝These discussions reflected the strong interest in PEF within the scientific community and opened opportunities for future collaborations between academia and industry to advance sustainable polymer innovation. 🙏A sincere thank you to the organizers at Università degli Studi di Milano, especially Professors Elisabetta Ranucci and Jenny Alongi, Conference Chairs, for the invitation to contribute to this outstanding event and for creating an inspiring platform where academia and industry came together to exchange ideas, share insights, and strengthen connections within the polymer science community. 🌍Looking forward to translating these scientific exchanges into impactful innovations.  #PEF #polyester #FDCA #Releaf #Avantium #SustainablePackaging #PolymerScience #BiobasedPolymers #MIPOL2026 #SustainableMaterials #PackagingInnovation #Collaboration #MaterialsInnovation #CircularEconomy #Crystallization #PolymerEngineering #Sustainability #Bioplastics

Excited to see this collaboration come to life. It was a pleasure to be part of this journey and help bring Releaf® PEF one step closer to real products. Thanks to Avantium and Lacatoni for the great collaboration!
