The United States export market of Propylene Glycol has observed a renewed sense of momentum in early December 2025. The market value of Propylene Glycol has increased across both of its pharmaceutical and industrial grades. The upward shift was observed after a cautious sentiment in late November when the buyers of Propylene Glycol across its different downstream sectors have reassessed their inventory positions and waited for clearer demand signals. A distinct pattern in an upward side has emerged as the new month unfolded. The strategic pricing behaviour from the suppliers, renewed offtake from end users and a recalibrated balance between stock carried forward from earlier production cycles and current procurement requirements have drove the prices in an upward side. The market dynamics has injected upward pressure to the values. The incline will likely persist through the remainder of December 2025.

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.
