Carbios signs deals to roll out bio-recycling for textiles
French biotech company Carbios and UK recycling and waste management firm FCC have signed a Letter of Intent (LOI) to establish a plant in the UK using Carbios’ PET bio-recycling licensed technology. The enzymatic depolymerisation technology facilitates the recycling of all types of PET waste, including problematic fractions such as polyester textiles. Carbios has also signed a LOI with
Turkish polyester fibre and filament yarn producer SASA to work toward a licensing agreement that would allow SASA to construct and operate an enzymatic depolymerisation plant in Adana, Turkey, with a capacity of 100,000 tonnes/yr. The Carbios
recycling technology would be used to produce polyester pellets, fibres, and textiles from various waste sources. Less than 1% of textile waste is
currently recycled into new textile fibres. In a further attempt to boost
these numbers, Carbios has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with Nouvelles Fibres Textiles, a French company specialising in the recovery of end-of-life textiles, for sup- ply to the Carbios PET recycling plant under construction in Longlaville, France. The contract will enable 5,000 tonnes/yr of textiles prepared in France to be redirected towards bio-recycling from 2026 onwards. The wide variety of textiles is holding back large-scale deployment of recycling, the company said, but new technologies, such as Carbios’ enzymatic depolymerisation are overcoming this obstacle. �
