Nestle Waters, PepsiCo, and Suntory Beverage & Food Europe have joined a consortium to boost the recyclability of PET plastic. Carbios developed a process that breaks down PET plastic waste to its original components, which can be used to produce high quality PET plastic, offering the potential to recycle PET plastics repeatedly.
Carbios and L'Oréal previously founded the Consortium to bring enhanced recycling technology designed and developed by Carbios to market on an industrial scale. Under the terms of the four-year agreement, the Consortium partners' ambition is to bring Carbios' PET-enhanced recycling technology to the market and increase the availability of high-quality recycled plastics. The collaboration includes technical milestones and support for the efficient supply of consumer-grade, 100 percent recycled PET plastics for global markets.
