The French pioneer in the biological recycling of plastics and textiles has announced the signature of its first multi-year offtake contracts with L’Oréal and L’Occitane en Provence. Carbios’ future commercial plant in Longlaville, the building of which has been postponed for a few months, will supply the two major cosmetic groups with bio-recycled PET.
According to Carbios, these commercial contracts confirm the demand from global leading brands for recycled and recyclable PET from enzymatic recycling. Indeed, this material enables them to meet both their circularity and quality objectives for their packaging.
“The signing of these two initial commercial contracts with L’Oréal and L’Occitane en Provence, two demanding leaders, marks a key milestone for Carbios, validating the brands’ demand and confirming the existence of an established market for r-PET derived from enzymatic recycling. Today, we have strong momentum to achieve our sales and supply targets, which makes us confident in signing further contracts for our future Longlaville site soon. Our commitment to the success of our future plant is stronger than ever,” said Vincent Kamel, Carbios’ CEO.
Last March, L’Oréal’s Biotherm announced the relaunch of its iconic Waterlover sun mist in a reinvented cosmetic bottle made from Carbios’ biorecycled PET. According to the brand, the material allows reducing the bottle’s carbon footprint by 90% compared to the production of a bottle made of virgin plastic.
