“Their contribution will accelerate our common ambition and help to industrialise our recycling technology.”

Nestlé Waters R&D head Massimo Casella said: “We are pleased to be joining the Consortium in supporting the development of this new technology.

“It can help us to achieve Nestlé’s goal of increasing the amount of recycled PET content in our bottles without compromising on quality and contribute to creating an environmentally sustainable world for the next generation.”

Leveraging highly specific enzymes, Carbios developed a sustainable technology to recycle much broader PET plastics and polyester fibres feedstock.

The process creates recycled PET for various applications such as making bottles and other forms of packaging. The material can be used repeatedly and is suitable to produce new products with 100% recycled PET content.
