The global market of Tetrasodium EDTA has slipped into a softer trading band in November 2025. The decline in the market prices was observed as the buyers and sellers of Tetrasodium EDTA have adjusted to a market that showed neither panic nor exuberance. The marginal decline across major export and import hubs has reflected a careful inventory management by downstream formulators and a steady output from manufacturers. The deliberate pricing tactics by the suppliers was aimed to keep the trade flow moving. The price correction in November was controlled rather than a dramatic disruption. The buyers had drawn down from the balanced stocks rather than chase spot volumes. The suppliers have used targeted discounts to stimulate interest without eroding long-term commercial relationships. The result was a broadly muted market where the demand from personal-care and food-preservative applications remained serviceable but procurement from water-treatment sectors softened to tip overall values in decline.
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.
