Carbios to commercialize fiber-to-fiber bio-recycling process
Following the successful production trial of 100 batches fiber-to-fiber bio-recycled PET, Carbios announces the expansion of its licensing offering to the textile market.
Carbios announces the expansion of its fiber-to-fiber bio-recycling process licensing offering to the textile market.
Since 2025, Carbios has been advancing the extension of its enzymatic bio-recycling process to the treatment of textile waste rich in PET polyester fibers.
With this bio-recycling process, Carbios successfully produced 100 batches rPET at the Clermont-Ferrand demonstration plant in France.
The performance achieved confirms the robustness of Carbios’ enzymatic depolymerization process, delivering over 95% conversion within 24 hours on complex textile waste streams. The process achieves yields that enable the production of virgin-quality monomers equivalent to those obtained from packaging waste.
The consistent reproducibility of these results demonstrates both the technological maturity of the process and the versatility of Carbios’ solution.
The remarkable progress made by Carbios’ teams through the successful completion of these 100 batches now enables the processing, under industrial conditions, of all types of PET waste streams, from both packaging and textile sources, whether simple or complex.
By extending its licensing offering to the textile market, Carbios significantly expands the addressable market for its bio-recycling technology and further diversifies its global customer base.
