Infinite Plastic Recycling

Enzyme-based process for biorecycling of PET plastic waste

Infinite Plastic Recycling

Enzyme-based process for biorecycling of PET plastic waste

By CARBIOS
From France
Maturity stage TRL 6 / 7 - Prototype demonstration 1:1

The enzymatic bioprocess for recycling aims to eliminate the constraints encountered by current processes, by taking advantage of the extraordinary specificity of the enzymes which allows for: (i) the recycling plastics without the need for sophisticated sorting, and in particular with the possibility of recycling colored, opaque and multi-layered plastics; and (ii) the possibility of recycling to infinity, via the recovery of purified monomers that can then be re-polymerized into plastic polymers of a quality equal to the original polymer (no loss in value, as compared to mechanical recycling). With this enzyme-based technology, the objective is to change the plastics lifecycle into a genuine circular economy with an endless recycling of plastics.
