Carbios signs its first biorecycled PET sales contracts with two global cosmetics leaders
Carbios has signed its first multi-year offtake contracts with L’Oréal and L’Occitane en Provence for biorecycled rPET from its future commercial plant in Longlaville, France.
The agreements mark a step in the company’s efforts to scale enzymatic recycling technology, which aims to provide an alternative method for producing recycled PET suitable for packaging. The company stated that the contracts reflect interest from consumer brands in sourcing materials that support packaging circularity and quality standards.
Carbios indicated that these deals align with its previously stated goal to secure initial offtake contracts in the first half of 2025.
“This contract with Carbios underlines our commitment to working with innovative players in PET recycling to create a circular economy. We congratulate Carbios on this advancement towards industrial scale for their enzymatic recycling solution, which represents a key milestone for the packaging industry,” said Jacques Playe, Director of Development and Packaging, L’Oréal.
“The partnership we have established with Carbios marks a decisive step for L’Occitane en Provence in our commitment to greater circularity in our packaging. It is testament to the continuation and acceleration of our commitment to reducing our environmental impact. Today, alongside Carbios, we are bringing a shared desire to life to build a high-performance European industry to promote the transition to a circular economy for plastics,” said David Bayard, R&D Packaging Director, L’Occitane en Provence.
