PET and PEF
Poly(ethylene 2,5-furandicarboxylate) (PEF) has a barrier that is reported to be up to 19x better on CO2 /1/ and up to 10x better on O2 /2/ than that of PET. Therefore, PEF can applied as an alternative for incumbent barrier solutions. Besides the fact PEF is from renewable feedstock, PEF has favorable properties for recycling.
