CARBIOS converts polyester waste into high-quality T-shirts using enzymatic recycling. The process yields purified monomers repolymerized into over one tonne of recycled PET, later processed into yarn, fabric, and garments by industrial partners in Portugal, Spain, and France.
Carbios converts mixed textile and plastic waste into recycled polyester for new T-shirts. The process includes a full fiber-to-fiber production chain, enabling circular textile manufacturing. This innovation addresses textile waste by breaking down waste materials into their base components for reuse.
Carbios and the Fiber-to-Fiber Consortium demonstrate industrial-scale production of recycled polyester T-shirts using complex plastic and textile waste. The process converts mixed waste streams into high-quality polyester fibers suitable for apparel manufacturing. This breakthrough supports circular economy goals by enabling large-scale textile recycling.
Carbios cuts operating expenses by 19% in the first half of 2026 while advancing financing for its PET biorecycling facility in Longlaville. The company focuses on scaling its enzymatic recycling technology for plastic waste processing. The plant aims to support circular economy initiatives through chemical recycling of PET materials.
