Carbiolice

Carbiolice, a subsidiary of Carbios, is tackling the crucial environmental issue of plastic pollution with its innovative solutions. Through the CARBIOS Active technology, the company has introduced a groundbreaking solution that enables the full compostability of both flexible and rigid PLA packaging at room temperature. This technology is the first of its kind to achieve certifications such as BPI and 'OK compost Home' by Tüv Austria, assuring its biodegradability and safety. The global annual production of plastic is currently 460 million tonnes, generating 353 million tonnes of waste. Despite improved end-of-life management, recycling rates remain low, necessitating advanced methods. Carbiolice's solution, backed by 12 international patent families, ensures that PLA-based products like trays, coffee capsules, and packaging materials can decompose completely in compost, leaving no harmful residues. Encapsulated enzymatic activators integrated into plant-based plastics initiate the biodegradation process as soon as they enter compost. This fast-growing market solution has been recognized with labels like the Solar Impulse Efficient Solution Label and GreenTech Innovation by the French Ministry of Ecological Transition, emphasizing its innovative and ecological potential.
