🙌 Join us at Carbios’ 2nd International Conference! We are thrilled to invite you to this conference on enzyme-catalyzed plastic recovery, taking place in Toulouse from October 8 to 10, 2024. 📅 Commodity plastics are essential in various industries, yet their end-of-life mismanagement is a significant contributor to global pollution. Over the last decade, groundbreaking advancements have been made in the enzyme-catalyzed plastic recovery, offering innovative solutions to this pressing issue. 👨🔬 👩🔬 At this conference, we will bring together leading scientists and industry experts from around the world to share their latest discoveries and achievements. This is a unique opportunity to exchange knowledge, foster innovation, and pave the way for sustainable development. The conference is open to active participants in the scientific community of the field. Due to limited number of participants, scientists must apply to the conference and will be further selected to attend the meeting. 👉 Link to register in comments #Science #Plastic #Enzyme #Sustainability #Innovation #Carbios

🙌 At CARBIOS, we are revolutionizing the world of plastic sustainability by bridging the gap between enzymology and plastic processing. In partnership with the TBI - Toulouse Biotechnology Institute, Bio & Chemical Engineering, we’ve established a state-of-the-art lab dedicated to enzyme engineering. CARBIOS is proud to be acknowledged by the global scientific community for our unparalleled expertise and pioneering innovations. We have already industrialized two breakthrough technologies for polymer recycling, but we’re far from done. Our commitment to pushing the boundaries of science and exploring new enzyme-polymer synergies is in our DNA. 🔬 This achievement would not have been possible without the passion, and dedication of our researchers, engineers, and partners. A huge thank you to all the teams who contributed to this exceptional success.

📣 [Breaking News] New Nature Magazine publication confirms CARBIOS’ expertise in enzymatic degradation of plastic. CARBIOS and TBI - Toulouse Biotechnology Institute, Bio & Chemical Engineering publish groundbreaking article that demonstrates complete disintegration and biodegradation of enzyme-embedded PLA in home-compost conditions faster than certification timeframe requirements. 🌱 This new publication in Nature, widely regarded as the most influential scientific journal, comes in addition to the 2020 publication on enzymatic depolymerization of PET, reinforcing CARBIOS’ leadership in enzymatic engineering and industrial solutions. Alain Marty, Chief Scientific Officer: "A publication in Nature is an especially proud moment for all the contributing teams, notably recognition from peers in the scientific community. Developing an efficient enzyme that can withstand the 170°C needed to introduce it into PLA is an outstanding scientific feat! Our previous article published in Nature in 2020 was pivotal in bringing our PET biorecycling technology to the world stage. We are very excited by the enhanced visibility of CARBIOS’ unique biodegradation technology brought by this publication, as it offers a practical and scalable approach to various industrial PLA-based packaging applications."

TBI - Toulouse Biotechnology Institute, Bio & Chemical Engineering et Carbios publient dans Biophysical Journal - revue de premier plan reconnue pour ses recherches approfondies sur les phénomènes biologiques utilisant des méthodes biophysiques! ✨🔬 Cette nouvelle publication décrit l'utilisation de la résonance magnétique nucléaire (RMN), afin de caractériser l’enzyme propriétaire de Carbios à différents pH. Cette étude novatrice offre un éclairage inédit sur les mécanismes réactionnels de la dépolymérisation enzymatique du PET, ouvrant ainsi la voie à des améliorations significatives de performance. Un grand merci à Cyril Charlier et Guy Lippens, chercheurs à TBI pour leur travail et pour l'écriture de cet article, en étroite collaboration avec notre équipe toulousaine. #Innovation #Recherche #Biophysics #Enzymes #Sustainability #Science #PETRecycling Biophysical Society

📢 [PRESS RELEASE] CARBIOS and Zhink Group enter official discussions for long-term partnership to build PET biorecycling industrial capacities in China in view of first licensing agreement for 50k tons per year 🤝This agreement officializes collaboration towards a long-term partnership in view of a first licensing contract to build a plant with a minimum annual processing capacity of 50k tons of prepared PET waste and would contribute to accelerating a circular economy for plastic and textiles. China, as the leading producer of PET in the world, is a key market for CARBIOS, and this agreement would establish a presence in this dominant market. Emmanuel LADENT 🌍 Directeur Général - Carbios: “There is great momentum in China to accelerate the circular economy and meet its target of carbon neutrality by 2060. The technology developed by CARBIOS makes perfect sense in this context: capable of recycling all types of PET waste, it promotes a circular economy with high-quality products and significantly reduces the carbon footprint of industries. As a leader in PET production, Zhink is considered as a key partner for introducing our technology into China and will stimulate our international deployment.”   Zhu Guoyang, President, Zhink Group: “For Zhink, the strategic focus is on the development of two global industries, PET and textiles, and to be a leader in the industry with sustainable competitiveness. We are actively promoting our subsidiaries to develop our PET recycling portfolio and are very interested in CARBIOS’ revolutionary biorecycling technology to reduce carbon emissions.”   Tina Sejersgård Fanø, Executive Vice President, Planetary Health Biosolutions, Novonesis: “With a 20-year presence in China and a solid R&D and manufacturing footprint in the region, Novonesis is keen to share its local know-how for the successful implementation of CARBIOS. Novonesis has a strong long-term partnership with CARBIOS, and an exclusive one for the production of its patented enzymes for PET biorecycling plants under license. We are ready to meet CARBIOS’ needs for future licensing projects in the region and beyond.” #Carbios #biorecycling #circulareconomy

📣 Over 400 cross-sector organisations call on EU leaders to confirm the Green Deal as a strategic priority in the next EU mandate.   The EU Green Deal is the foundation of a competitive, secure, modern and efficient Europe.   🤝 Together, signatories from across the economy, remind EU leaders that delivering the EU Green Deal is the best strategy for securing Europe's competitiveness and prosperity, providing much-needed clarity and stability to Europe's businesses and citizens.   Let’s not gamble on our future, let’s build it.    Read the full joint statement here 👉  https://lnkd.in/ePbQtgEe #GreenDealforEU

🧵 [PRESS RELEASE] CARBIOS and TOMRA Textiles join forces to scale circularity of polyester textiles CARBIOS and TOMRA Textiles will collaborate to close the textiles circularity gap between collection of textile waste and innovative technologies for textile-to-textile recycling. Emmanuel LADENT 🌍 Directeur Général - Carbios: “CARBIOS is taking the lead in forming an efficient value chain for textile circularity and actively engages with global industry leaders such as TOMRA to shape the future of sustainable textiles.” Vibeke Siljan Krohn, Head of TOMRA Textiles: “The textile industry has been optimized for cost and efficiency for centuries. Closing the gap means scaling all the elements of a circular value chain – from collection to sorting to recycling technologies. Future recycling solutions depend on reliable access to feedstock. Through the collaboration with CARBIOS we hope to stimulate further investments needed to scale textile circularity.” #carbios #circulareconomy #biorecycling #innovation #collaboration

🙌 Carbios and L'Occitane en Provence won the Green Award with the Almond shower oil in a 100% Biorecycled PET bottle presented at “Édition Spéciale” LUXEPACK. This bottle from the Amande range of L'OCCITANE en Provence symbolizes our common desire to accelerate the transition to a circular economy for plastics and respecting the brands' commitments for more environmentally friendly packaging solutions. ♻ Martin Blondel, Packaging Leader at L’Occitane en Provence “At L’Occitane we have taken strong commitments, including reducing our fossil footprint and incorporating recycled material into our packaging.
