Learn by doing. Inside a plant that’s already running.
A biotechnology at industrial scale
of Carbios’ PET biorecycling technology under real industrial conditions.
A decisive bridge between R&D and the construction of the first full scale plants.
What this industrial demonstation plant makes possible
Every data point sharpens the blueprint of tomorrow’s plants.
Waste in. Virgin-quality monomers out. Ready for resin and fiber. No compromise.
Industrial demonstration plant
Step inside the industrial proof of what we have been building for over a decade : a process capable of breaking down any PET waste, regardless of its colour, composition or origin, and turning it back into virgin-quality monomers.
This is a fully operational industrial environment, where every run generates the data, the engineering insights, and the certified outputs that will define the next generation of biorecycling plants worldwide.
