Carbios, a pioneer in high-tech bioplastics, has taken a new step towards the development of enzymatic decontamination so that the process can be applied to polyester fibers made from woven waste. Textile recycling using recycled PET fibers can completely replace the fiber made from fossil fuels.

After successful demonstration of the enzymatic decontamination process applied to PET plastics, it is possible to recycle PET fibers into good quality PET. Carbios opens new markets by disposing of 100% PET into the original monomers: PTA (terephthalic acid) and MEG (mono ethylene glycol).

In a press release, Carbios said, "Most of the textile waste is currently being dumped or burnt and when fiber recycling is done, it is mostly recycled into low quality, means that the material is of lesser quality than the original material produced. As Europe and many other countries around the world are fighting to recycle the mountain of textile waste, our innovative technology will help turn this great environmental threat into a new opportunity based on the principles of the foundation. Economically recycle and focus on positive social benefits. "

Carbios says, "The unwanted texture of polyester materials into high quality raw materials for new products using Carbios' enzyme technology is an opportunity for complete change. Full textiles and textile trade in Europe and in the world. From a sustainable perspective, our approach will significantly improve the impact of the overall life cycle of textile products. "
