Biorecycling company Carbios has received the necessary permission to go ahead with the construction of a plant at which it will break down used plastic and textile polymers to make new polyester (PET) fibres. 

Carbios’ technology is an enzymatic recycling solution for PET waste. It has said this plant, which will be located in Longlaville in the east of France, will be the world’s first PET biorecycling plant. It will be beside an existing production facility that its partner for the project, Indorama Ventures, already has in place there.
