The company has established key partnerships with major industry players like L'Oréal, Nestlé Waters, and PepsiCo, and is advancing towards the operation of its first commercial reference plant. Carbios aims to license its technology globally to transform the plastics industry.

Carbios competes with mechanical recyclers and thermochemical recycling companies (e.g., Loop Industries, Eastman). Its key differentiation is its enzymatic process, which operates at mild conditions, produces high-purity monomers suitable for food-grade packaging, and has a favorable environmental footprint, positioning it as a preferred solution for brand owners with ambitious sustainability goals.
