U.S. Cefpodoxime Proxetil prices are projected to be high during Q4 2025, thanks to solid demand for the treatment of infectious diseases as well as children's medicines. Even with softening feedstock prices and unaltered freight costs, tight stocks, higher manufacturing costs, and global supply chain disturbances are still driving a bullish price scenario. China's solid export performance as well as EU tariff effects are influencing procurement strategies, while domestic consumption remains robust in hospitals as well as retail pharmacies.
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.
