Novonesis (ex Novozymes)
Longlaville
Carbios and Novonesis have been partners since 2019, working together to develop enzymes for both PET recycling and PLA biodegradation, addressing the global challenge of plastic pollution. Building on their existing Co-Development Agreement, the two companies will expand their collaboration to develop, optimize, and produce enzymes, which Novonesis will supply to all future licensees of Carbios' technology. This new agreement ensures exclusivity for both parties in their partnership. Additionally, Carbios and Novonesis, the global leader in biological solutions, announced an exclusive, long-term global strategic partnership. This major agreement guarantees the long-term production and supply of Carbios’ proprietary PET-degrading enzymes at an industrial scale for the world’s first biological PET recycling plant, set to begin operations in 2025 in Longlaville, France.
The plant will have a processing capacity of 50,000 tonnes of waste per year, significantly reducing plastic waste, and will serve Carbios’ future licensee customers, contributing to a circular plastic recycling industry.
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.
