CARBIOS products

The introduction of enzymes in the value chains of the plastics industry, and in particular for the recovery of end-of-life plastics and textiles, is a world-first designed and developed by Carbios.

Enzymatic recycling: removing the constraints of current processes. Opening new ecological and competitive avenues for the virtuous management of the life cycle of plastic and textile materials.

CARBIOS Active provides a complementary solution to recycling. Exploring new, environmentally-friendly approaches to manage the life cycle of plastic materials.

Turning plastic waste into resources is currently one of the main thrusts of the circular economy. Recycling plastics and textiles is part of our DNA. Through our research and development work, we aim to extend our recycling and biodegradation processes to other polymers and other applications of interest to industry. To date, our work in this field has focused on the enzymatic recycling of PLA and the biodegradation of textiles and PLA 3D printed parts. At the same time, other areas of innovation have already been identified in order to adapt our processes to waste containing polymers other than PLA and PET, such as polyamides (PA6, PA6.6, etc.), polyolefins (polyethylene PE, polypropylene PP, etc.) and elastomers (natural rubber, etc.), on which we could work to identify new enzyme/polymer combinations.
