In the course of their work with The Coca-Cola Company,
Virent has progressed their PX technology to
commercial readiness, improved the process economics and
produced bio-based PX which has been converted by
The Coca-Cola Company into 100% bio-based PET bottles.
This new investment will allow production of larger quantities of
BioFormPX material.
Virent CEO
“The Coca-Cola Company continues to be
a valued partner for Virent.
Their intention to use our BioFormPX material in
the next generation of PlantBottle™ packaging
is critical in attracting manufacturing partners from
the PET supply chain. This – along with the progress
we’ve made in our joint development work -
moves us closer to seeing
the first commercial 100% bio-based PET bottles
on retail shelves made using Virent technology”
