Selenis will double the production capacity of its facility in Portalegre, Portugal, by the third quarter of 2027. This expansion focuses on bio-based, medical-grade, and circular co-polyesters in response to new EU packaging regulations mandating recyclable packaging by 2030.

The upgrade includes a continuous polymerization line to improve energy efficiency and reduce natural gas dependence, with most electricity sourced from an on-site solar park. The increased capacity will cater to food, healthcare, and textile industries aiming for lower carbon footprints. The project aligns with long-term decarbonization goals.
