Success story

Carbios

Toulouse, a centre of excellence for green chemistry and enzymatic recycling

Carbios is developing a unique enzymatic plastic recycling technology, paving the way for a more ambitious circular economy for polyesters. By choosing Toulouse to strengthen its technological structure, the company is joining an ecosystem that fosters sustainable industrial innovation.

A leader in enzymatic recycling

Carbios has developed an enzymatic depolymerisation process capable of completely recycling PET packaging to produce a raw material of equivalent quality to virgin plastic. This technology paves the way for total circularity of polyesters, without any loss of quality, and is part of a transition towards more environmentally friendly chemistry.
The company is now pursuing the goal of deploying its process on a large scale, drawing on a solid scientific and industrial ecosystem.

Why Toulouse?

The establishment of a key centre in Toulouse capitalises on several advantages of the region:

a unique concentration of recognised academic players in bioengineering,
access to infrastructure enabling the transition to industrial scale,
an environment conducive to green chemistry and circularity projects.
