CARBIOS,\u00a0a leader in biorecycling technology,\u00a0and Selenis,\u00a0a leading supplier of speciality polyester solutions,\u00a0have announced a strategic partnership to produce polyethylene terephthalate glycol (PETG) from recycled PET (rPET) waste for the cosmetic and healthcare industries.<\/p>\n

The partnership leverages CARBIOS\u2019 enzymatic depolymerisation technology to break down rPET waste into its constituent monomers,\u00a0which are then repolymerised by Selenis into high-quality PETG.\u00a0<\/p>\n

This sustainable PETG material offers the same properties as virgin PETG,\u00a0making it a suitable replacement for traditional packaging materials in these sectors.<\/p>\n

PETG is a popular choice for cosmetic and healthcare packaging due to its clarity,\u00a0durability,\u00a0and resistance to chemicals.<\/p>\n

By using rPET,\u00a0CARBIOS and Selenis are helping to reduce plastic waste and promote a more circular economy.<\/p>\n

The partnership is expected to increase the availability of sustainable packaging options for cosmetic and healthcare companies,\u00a0addressing growing consumer demand for environmentally friendly products.\u00a0<\/p>\n
