Carbios is a French company in the field of biochemistry. It holds a number of worldwide patents. [1] Among other things Carbios has invented an industrial application of enzymes renders plastic waste compostable.[2] The company resides in the French science park Biopôle Clermont-Limagne, close to Saint-Beauzire, Puy-de-Dôme in the Auvergne. One of their partners is the INSA Toulouse (National Institute for Applied Sciences).[3]
History
[edit]Carbios was founded in 2011. Since 2013 it is listed at the stock index Euronext Growth, a subsidiary of Euronext.[4]
On January 19 2019, Carbios announced a partnership with Toulouse White Biotechnology (TWB) as a new investor.
In April 2020 Carbios gained attention due to an article in Nature which explained how a hydrolase enzyme designed by Carbios enabled to recycle 90% of all PET plastic waste within 10 hours.[5] [6] In the following a number of big companies including PepsiCo and Nestle became partners. [7] [8]

Structure
[edit]Carbios runs three departments, all based on their application of enzymes:
- General biodegradation
- Depolymerization of plastic waste [9]
- Biotechnology for the production of plastic from biologicial ingredients such lactic acid.
In order to pursue the further development concerning biodegradation, Carbios has founded the subsidiary Carbiolice, which is a joint-venture with Limagrain and Novozymes. [10]
