Global Consumer Brands Unveil World’s First Enzymatically Recycled Bottles

Global Consumer Brands Unveil World’s First Enzymatically Recycled Bottles

Clermont-Ferrand, France, June 24, 2021 (07:01 AM CEST): The promise of endlessly recycled PET plastic is one step closer today, as the Consortium – Carbios, L’Oréal, Nestlé Waters, PepsiCo and Suntory Beverage & Food Europe – announces the successful production of the world’s first food-grade PET plastic bottles produced entirely from enzymatically recycled plastic.

These bottles are the first made from plastic recycled by enzymes

Inside landfills, researchers have found rare but naturally occurring enzymes that break down plastic. By tweaking one of these enzymes, scientists at Carbios, a France-based startup, have figured out how to make the process happen faster—and now they’ve made the first prototypes of food-grade, enzymatically recycled bottles out of the material.

Genetically engineered microbes convert waste plastic into vanillin

Genetically engineered microbes convert waste plastic into vanillin

Scientists in the UK have genetically engineered Escherichia coli to transform plastic waste into vanillin. ‘Instead of simply recycling plastic waste into more plastic, what our system demonstrates for the first time is that you can use plastic as a feedstock for microbial cells and transform it into something with higher value and more industrial utility,’ says Stephen Wallace from the University of Edinburgh.
