The market value of Gelatin in US market has observed an upward shift in November 2025. The increase in the prices of Gelatin was driven by strong export offers from the Chinese suppliers and the persistent tightness in inventories across the various downstream manufacturing sectors. The increase has emerged from a market environment where suppliers have maintained strategic prices which has reflected the low stock levels that was carried over from October. The Chinese manufacturers had operated on steady production cycles to meet firm domestic offtake which was associated with the national day festivities that resulted in minimal leftover inventory. The domestic and export markets in China have observed firm procurement patterns as demand has continued in November. The supply constraint with the stable downstream consumption have lifted the export quotations. The elevated export offers have directly translated into higher import prices for the US as it is an import-dependent market.

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.
