About Carbios SAS

Carbios is a publicly traded French biotechnology company developing and industrializing biological solutions to reinvent the life cycle of plastics and textiles. Its core technology leverages highly specific enzymes to depolymerize PET plastic waste into its core monomers, which can then be repolymerized into virgin-quality plastic, enabling true circularity. 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.
