CLERMONT-FERRAND - Biotech specialist Carbios has developed a fully integrated and automated system that transforms polyester waste from used garments or cutting scraps into raw materials suitable for depolymerisation using its enzymatic biorecycling process.
According to Carbios, polyester textiles account for around two thirds of the global polyester market of around 100 million tons with only 13% of textile waste currently recycled, and only 1% recycled from fibre-to-fibre.
