Carbios Demonstrates Superior Performance of Its Enzyme in World-Renowned Scientific Publication
12 Octobre 2023 - 7:34AM
Business Wire
- The publication in ACS Catalysis, one of the
world's most influential scientific journals, compares the four
best performing enzymes for PET degradation under industrial
conditions and confirms the superior performance of Carbios'
enzyme
- Carbios proposes an international standardized
method for enzyme comparison thereby confirming its position as the
world leader of enzymatic PET depolymerization
- Since the publication of the LCCICCG enzyme in
the journal Nature in 2020, three years of R&D has optimized
its performance to produce a new, more efficient generation of
enzyme that will be used in the world's first PET biorecycling
plant
Regulatory News:
Carbios (Euronext Growth Paris: ALCRB), a pioneer in the
development and industrialization of biological technologies to
reinvent the life cycle of plastics and textiles, announces the
publication in ACS Catalysis, one of the world's most influential
scientific journals (Impact Factor 13.7), of an article
entitled "Assessment of Four Engineered PET Degrading Enzymes
Considering Large-Scale Industrial Applications." The article
demonstrates that Carbios' enzyme LCCICCG (published in Nature in
2020) outperforms all three competitors considered most
promising in scientific literature: two variants of the IsPETase
enzyme produced by Ideonella sakaiensis described by the University
of Manchester and the University of Austin (Texas) and a variant of
PES-H1 (also known as PHL7) described by the University of
Greifswald. By using a standardized method for comparing PET
degrading enzymes under industrial conditions, Carbios and Toulouse
Biotechnology Institute (TBI) validate the superior performance of
Carbios' enzyme and confirm Carbios' leadership in the field.
Moreover, since 2020, Carbios has significantly enhanced the enzyme
used in this article, further extending its lead. This
next-generation enzyme (results not yet published) will be used in
the world's first PET biorecycling plant due for commissioning in
2025.
Alain Marty, Chief Scientific Officer of Carbios: "With
this publication in the prestigious ACS Catalysis journal, we
wanted to offer the scientific community a standardized method for
comparing enzymes under industrial conditions. This study confirms
Carbios' position as a leader not only for the superior performance
of its enzyme for the degradation of PET, but above all in its
industrial-scale application for the biorecycling of plastic and
textiles. I would like to thank all my teams and my fellow
co-authors for their collaboration and perseverance in publishing
this landmark article."
By collaborating with renowned enzymologists, Prof. Uwe
Bornscheuer (University of Greifswald), and Prof. Gert Weber
(Helmholtz-Zentrum Berlin), Carbios mobilizes expertise to
accelerate the biological recycling of PET.

About Carbios:
Carbios is a biotech company developing and industrializing
biological solutions to reinvent the life cycle of plastic and
textiles. Inspired by nature, Carbios develops enzyme-based
processes to break down plastic with a mission to avoid plastic and
textile pollution, and accelerate the transition to a circular
economy. Its two disruptive technologies for the biorecycling of
PET and the biodegradation of PLA are reaching industrial and
commercial scale. Its biorecycling demonstration plant has been
operational since 2021 and a first industrial plant, in partnership
with Indorama Ventures, is due to be commissioned in 2025. Carbios
has received scientific recognition, notably with the cover of
Nature, and is supported by prestigious brands in the cosmetics,
Food & Beverage and apparel industries to enhance their
products’ recyclability and circularity. Nestlé Waters, PepsiCo and
Suntory Beverage & Food Europe are members of a packaging
consortium founded by Carbios and L’Oréal. On, Patagonia, PUMA, PVH
Corp. and Salomon collaborate with Carbios in a textile
consortium.
