The market value of Resorcinol in the Asia-Pacific region has recorded a modest increase in October 2025. The increase was a result of steady and production-led demand from downstream sectors. The buyers of Resorcinol in the pharmaceuticals and personal care sectors have maintained inventories at comfortable levels. The end-user demand which is tied to seasonal skin-care needs was sturdy but not exuberant. The Resorcinol suppliers have employed strategic pricing and inventory management to secure small gains rather than pursue sharp hike. The softness in the value of benzene feedstock in China and India have capped the upside trend. The demand and inventory dynamics have produced only marginal month-on-month rises rather than a pronounced rally. The net effect was a market where measured business decisions, seasonal anticipation and feedstock dynamics have combined to lift Resorcinol prices by narrow margins across major APAC Resorcinol markets.

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.
