In the latter half of June 2025, U.S. chloroform prices rose by 1.7%, following a period of market stability. The slight uptick was driven by modest demand improvements from the agrochemical and pharmaceutical sectors, alongside stable but guarded supply. Domestic formulation activity in agrochemicals increased due to tariff-related uncertainty, while pharmaceutical demand remained steady amid regulatory challenges. Despite falling natural gas prices easing production costs, producers maintained cautious output strategies due to trade-related unpredictability. Inventory levels stayed comfortable, and no major supply disruptions occurred. Looking ahead prices are expected to trend slightly bearish due to weak upstream cost pressures and balanced fundamentals, supporting a stable and well-supplied chloroform market in the near term.

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.
