recycling 20 billion+ used PET bottles into new products every year

Far Eastern New Century Corporation (FENC), a leader in green polyester materials, is committed to promoting a circular economy and recycles more than 20 billion used PET bottles into new products every year.

FENC is an international company based in Taiwan, and established in 1949. It operates in the US, Japan, Mainland China, Vietnam, Malaysia, and the Philippines as well as in many other countries and regions. It is the leader of food-grade recycled PET and recycled polyester filament.

The company has invested in the circular economy for over 30 years, using its core strengths to create various innovative recycling technologies, including applications for land, ocean and air waste recycling. FENC has developed the FENC®TopGreen®ChemCycle, which uses a chemical process to recycle waste textiles, which are much more complex than waste PET bottles, and convert them into recycled PTA for use as polyester raw materials and then into new polyester products.

Ocean recycled anti-bursting jerseys, which are made from ocean waste PET bottles, are the first of their kind in the world to be used in the 2022 World Cup football national team kits, with 9 national teams already wearing them, including the champion Argentina.

FENC formed collaborations with international brands to utilize bio technology which transforms industrial waste gas into low carbon polyester and produced the world’s first apparel made from recycled waste gas. The low carbon polyester, FENC®TOPGREEN®Bio3 PET, won the world class awards, including International Textile Manufacturers Federation’s Sustainability & Innovation Award and the International Innovation Awards in 2022 as well as the Red Dot Design Award in 2023.

FENC is the only polyester supplier in the world vertically integrated to offer a product portfolio spanning the gamut from raw materials to consumer products. The range of products and applications cover all facets of life, including PET bottles, food and non-food packaging, hygiene, automotive, and home textiles as well as functional athletic apparels.
