52% of packaging are difficult to recycle, because they are too small, too thin or soiled… And yet, plastic is difficult to replace!
At Carbiolice, we are convinced that plastics can be useful without destroying the planet! That’s why our 25 employees are committed every day to design innovative and sustainable solutions to improve the end-of-life of plastics. Discover our Purpose!
Compostable plastic packaging is one alternative among others to fight against plastic pollution. Concretely, with Evanesto® inside, cups, yoghurt pots, trays, pods and other plastic films join your apple peelings and coffee grounds in your composter. This additive allows plant-based plastics (PLA) to be 100% biodegradable, under universal composting conditions (industrial, domestic or methanization).
Our solution, which is immediately operational, is aimed at large markets: food companies, flexible or rigid packaging manufacturers, but also elected representatives, local authorities or any organization wishing to fight against plastic pollution!
Resulting from 7 years of research and backed by some 20 patents with international coverage, our innovation is a world first that has enabled Carbiolice to be recognized as the 2019 most innovative European biotech, awarded by the European association EuropaBio.
Carbiolice, 15 years of industrial expertise in the biodegradation of bioplastic
Evanesto®: the additive that makes plant-based plastic compostable even from your home!
This innovation provided by Carbiolice is designed for plastic applications, flexible and rigid packaging, which by their nature cannot be recycled. Indeed, too thin, too complex to recycle or soiled by food, 52% of the plastics produced end up in incineration, landfill or in nature.
Evanesto® is an innovative and eco-responsible alternative that allows us to achieve zero waste. Plastic containing Evanesto® are treated as bio-waste, composted and transformed into compost in less than 200 days.
Evanesto® is the first additive allowing PLA rich-films to be certified “OK compost HOME”.
This solution makes it possible to fight against the plastic waste accumulation in the environment and becomes an effective lever to deploy a high-performance solution for on-site sorting of wastes.
How Evanesto® works to improve the bioplastic end of life?
Evanesto® is an enzymatic additive. This means that it is composed of enzymes, acting as catalyzers, which allows the plastic disintegration so that it can be assimilated more quickly by the compost’s microorganisms.
Thus, within 200 days, bioplastic are an integral part of your compost, with zero residue and zero toxicity.
