Hydrogen peroxide market in the U.S. was cautious and somewhat soft during the second week of December 2025 due to continue over supply as producers were operating without disruption of raw material availability, energy costs, labour shortages, and logistics through consistent production leading to sufficient inventories to avoid any type of supply-side pressure. On the demand side, hydrogen peroxide continued to be used mainly in downstream markets including pulp & paper, textiles, chemical processing, and water treatment, however, demand is stable without any new developments thus maintaining a more conservative position in terms of demand from buyers because of limited spot market activity. As mentioned above, however, the market remains supportive in terms of the long term for hydrogen peroxide due to the development of regulations regarding the use of hydrogen peroxide and new applications for hydrogen peroxide being developed for wastewater treatment indicating potential market stabilization when downstream demands pick up steam.
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.
