About Carbios:
Carbios, a green chemistry company, develops biological and
innovative processes representing a major innovation in the end of
life of plastics and textiles. Through its unique approach of
combining enzymes and plastics, Carbios aims to address new
consumer expectations and the challenges of a broader ecological
transition by taking up a major challenge of our time: plastic and
textile pollution.
Established in 2011 by Truffle Capital, the mission of Carbios
is to provide an industrial solution to the recycling of PET
plastics and textiles (the dominant polymer in bottles, trays,
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 PET
innovation, the first of its kind in the world, was recently
recognized in a scientific paper published in the prestigious
journal Nature. Additionally, Carbios is working hand in hand with
multinational brands — like L’Oréal, Nestlé Waters, PepsiCo and
Suntory Beverage & Food Europe — to implement its technology,
and to lead the transition toward a truly circular economy.
The Company has also developed an enzymatic biodegradation
technology for PLA (a bio sourced polymer) based single use
plastics. This technology can create a new generation of plastics
that are 100% compostable in domestic conditions, integrating
enzymes at the heart of the plastic product. This disruptive
innovation has been licensed to Carbiolice, a joint venture created
in 2016, in which Carbios now holds 100% of the capital.
