Market Challenges

Polyester fibers
are everywhere

Polyester fibers are everywhere — from fashion to technical applications such as automotive interiors — and their use continues to grow, now representing nearly 60%* of global fiber production.
The challenge is massive: most PET textiles are downcycled or incinerated, and the small fraction that is recycled loses quality through conventional processes.

Learn more about PET
Unlock sustainability without design compromise

Consumers demand high‑performance recycled PET without compromising on aesthetics.

Unlock feedstock flexibility 
at scale

Rising regulatory demand tightens access to conventional recycled PET.

Unlock full compliance & traceability

Growing regulations increase pressure for verifiable recycled PET traceability.

  • No compromise
  • No limits on feedstock
  • Circularity as a reality
Impacts
  • 128% lower CO₂ emissions vs. fossil-based PET*
  • 5x more Circular than traditional mechanical recycling**
  • Seamless Integration with existing production lines

* Based on CARBIOS textile LCA report January 2025. Considering a France scenario (i.e. recycling process located in France with a European waste supply) and a diversion of 100% PET waste from a conventional 
end-of-life. And comparing to virgin PET production in Europe(cradle to gate) based on ecoinvent 3.10.

KEY ADVANTAGES

Unmatched benefits for recycled polyester fibers

  • Virgin-like quality, guaranteed:

    Back to monomers, both PTA and MEG, virgin quality

  • Clean and bio-inspired process:

    Water and enzymes at low temperature, without organic solvant

  • Accommodating to:

    Textile feedstock variances including post-consumer textile, blends of natural and synthetic fibers, dyeing materials.

  • Securing:

    by converting a wide range of hard-to-recycle wastes into the same virgin-like quality.

testimonials

Partnered with global pioneers

“FENC is exploring the biorecycling solution for PET/polyester through our collaboration with CARBIOS after working on mechanical, physical and chemical recycling of PET/polyester for 36 years. The high-purity recycled raw material is always the key element to drop into our existing industrial lines for making recycled PET/polyester products. This work with CARBIOS enables to produce high-quality products and together demonstrates our promises to the circular economy of textile industry.”

Fanny Liao,

Executive Vice President of RD

“This partnership is a tangible expression of our commitment to turning complex waste into high-performance materials. By integrating enzymatically recycled r-PET into our tires, we are marking a new milestone on our journey toward achieving 100% renewable and recycled materials by 2050 — all while staying within planetary boundaries. It is by combining innovation, industrial excellence, and close collaboration with trusted partners that we are building a strong and lasting circular model.”

Fabien Gaboriaud,

Director of Circularity and Renewable & Recycled Materials
