The global pharmaceutical-grade Liquid Glucose market saw softer buying momentum as ample maize availability lowered production costs and ensured steady supply. Downstream sectors—including pharmaceuticals, nutraceuticals, and food & beverage—maintained healthy inventories, reducing urgency for fresh procurement. With surplus stock from previous production cycles and demand aligned to seasonal output requirements, suppliers adopted competitive pricing strategies to sustain market engagement. The outlook remains steady, with only marginal shifts expected in the near term, driven by scheduled production needs rather than sudden demand surges.
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.
