♦ Recent Developments –

• In May 2018, Aquafil and Genomatica announced the formation of Project EFFECTIVE, a multi-company collaboration to produce more sustainable fibers and plastics for commercial use by using renewable feedstocks and bio-based technologies. One of the key objectives of Project EFFECTIVE is to develop a more sustainable nylon, made from bio-based caprolactam produced using renewable feedstocks.
• In February 2018, Aquafil signed an agreement with INVISTA, one of the world’s largest integrated producers of chemical intermediates, polymers, and fibers, to acquire certain tangible and intangible assets related to INVISTA’s nylon 6 business activity in APAC. This will accelerate Aquafil’s investment program in APAC, which has the highest potential, in terms of demand growth for synthetic fibers.
