Processing capacity will be 50,000 tonnes of waste per year.
CARBIOS
Enzyme-based solutions for infinite biorecycling and biodegradation of plastics
World-first enzyme-based process enabling infinite recycling of PET plastics and fibers.
Technology provides an industrial solution to the recycling of PET plastics and textiles (the dominant polymer in bottles, trays, and textiles made of polyester). The enzymatic recycling technology developed by Carbios deconstructs any type of PET plastic waste into its basic components, which can then be reused to produce new PET plastics of a quality equivalent to virgin ones. This innovation, the first of its kind in the world, was recently recognized in a scientific paper published in the prestigious journal Nature.
