In early July 2025, the Asia-Pacific Dipotassium EDTA market maintained a steady tone, supported by uninterrupted production and balanced downstream demand. Procurement remained cautious as buyers relied on existing inventories built during earlier stable periods. There were no major disruptions in distribution, and demand from pharmaceutical and nutraceutical sectors followed routine consumption cycles. The market's stability was further reinforced by disciplined supplier pricing and the absence of aggressive restocking, reflecting a well-aligned supply-demand scenario across the region.
Selenis has effectively manufactured recycled PET chips using terephthalic acid sourced from Circ®, a textile-to-textile recycler based in Virginia. The chip production took place through a series of batches at Selenis' pilot plant in San-Giorgio, Italy. By utilizing inputs recovered from polycotton textile waste, Selenis has created high-quality PET chip, which has been further processed into DTY yarn. This yarn will play a crucial role in product development as Circ prepares for additional capsule launches. Selenis is leveraging the success of this initial collaboration phase and is committed to advancing towards an offtake partnership to support Circ's inaugural industrial facility.
Eduardo Santos, Head of Corporate Strategy at Selenis, remarked that the monomer synthesis showed a performance comparable to virgin terephthalic acid. He expressed optimism about the consistent quality of Circ's monomer output and anticipated future commercial success. Santos pointed out that the Circ partnership complements Selenis's existing mission and goals for a more sustainable textile industry. He further stated their anticipation of expanding upon this collaboration and providing support for Circ's forthcoming commercial production trials.
