The global Nicotine Polacrilex market has witnessed marginal price corrections in June 2025, as cautious procurement from downstream sectors like pharmaceuticals and NRT products has kept overall demand restrained. India, as the largest exporter, effectively steered market sentiment, while stable production and well-managed inventories across major import markets limited transactional activity. The suppliers have exercised strategic pricing discipline with no significant seasonal triggers or policy changes and ensured market balance. The outlook points to steady pricing with minor fluctuations in the coming months.
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.
