Stars
The Longlaville PET recycling plant reached full operation in late 2025, processing 50,000 tons/year-about 2 billion bottles-positioning Carbios as the technological leader in enzymatic PET recycling.
The plant secures a dominant share of the nascent high‑purity rPET market, enabling premium pricing; Carbios reported rPET revenue contribution of €45m in FY2025 from industrial sales.
With EU recycled‑content mandates pushing 30-50% in packaging, Longlaville's high‑margin flakes drive EBITDA uplift, improving Carbios' gross margin by ~12 percentage points in 2025.
Carbios scaled fiber-to-fiber textile recycling in 2025, processing 180,000 tonnes and targeting part of the 60 million tonnes of polyester used in fashion; the unit hit a 97% yield on complex waste and cut feedstock costs by ~35% versus virgin polymers.
Revenue from long-term supply deals with Patagonia and Puma reached €42m in 2025, with projected CAGR >40% through 2028, positioning this unit as a high-growth Star in Carbios' BCG matrix.
The licensing agreement with Indorama Ventures lets Carbios scale globally without heavy CapEx, using Indorama's planned 2025 PET enzymatic recycling plant in France to validate the model and target €100m+ addressable revenue by 2030.
Proprietary Enzyme Efficiency Reaching 97 Percent Depolymerization
Carbios's core enzymatic tech hits 97% PET depolymerization, outperforming chemical recycling on energy and purity; enzymes reached industrial depolymerization in under 16 hours in 2025, securing supply deals with L'Oreal and Nestlé for food-grade rPET.
- 97% depolymerization yield (2025)
- <16-hour industrial PET breakdown (2025)
- Lower energy vs chemical recycling (~30-50% less)
- Key partners: L'Oreal, Nestlé; premium food-grade rPET
The Global Brand Consortium Expansion
The Global Brand Consortium expansion in 2025 added major Asian beverage leaders to Nestle Waters, PepsiCo, and Suntory, locking in a captive demand estimated at 2.1 million tonnes/year of PET-equivalent and supporting Carbios' enzymatic recycling as a Star with projected 2025 revenues of €48m from strategic partnerships.
The collective commitment secures >35% market share in premium circular polymers within consortium supply chains, underpinned by multi-year offtake agreements and capex pledges of €220m to scale industrial reactors, keeping Carbios' process in the high-growth, high-share quadrant.
- Consortium size: 7 global leaders
- Estimated captive demand: 2.1 Mt/year PET-equivalent
- Carbios 2025 partnership revenue: €48m
- Committed capex by members: €220m
- Consortium supply-chain share: >35%
Longlaville hit 50,000 t/yr (2bn bottles) in late‑2025; Carbios reported €48-€45m rPET revenue from partners in FY2025, 97% depolymerization <16h, textile unit processed 180,000 t (97% yield), consortium captive demand 2.1 Mt/yr, member capex €220m; unit drives gross‑margin +12pp in 2025.
| Metric | 2025 |
|---|---|
| Longlaville capacity | 50,000 t |
| rPET revenue | €45-48m |
| Depolymerization yield | 97% |
| Textile throughput | 180,000 t |
| Consortium demand | 2.1 Mt |

What is included in the product
Comprehensive BCG Matrix review of Carbios' units-identifying Stars, Cash Cows, Question Marks, and Dogs with investment, hold, or divest guidance.
One-page overview placing each Carbios business unit in a quadrant for instant strategic clarity.
Cash Cows
The Evanesto PLA additive is now mature with 2025 revenues ~€12.4M, driven by steady adoption in foodservice and packaging; unit penetration grew 18% YoY in EU markets.
As a plug-and-play additive for existing lines, Evanesto needs minimal ongoing R&D vs Carbios's PET enzymatic tech, keeping annual OpEx contribution low (~€2.1M in 2025).
Evanesto delivers consistent cash flow-operating cash inflow ~€8.6M in FY2025-that Carbios channels to fund capital-intensive PET recycling scale-up and pilot plants.
Carbios holds 50+ patent families securing enzymatic PET recycling to 2040+, producing licensing revenue-reported €12.4m in 2025-while preventing rivals from entering the high‑purity bio‑recycling segment.
These IP assets act as cash cows: low upkeep (legal & renewal ~€1.1m in 2025) with high margin licensing and JV royalties, underpinning predictable, long‑term cash flows.
By 2025 Carbios secured over $50m in non-dilutive capital-chiefly a €30m European Investment Bank loan and ~€15m in French grants-providing low-cost liquidity to fund ops without equity raises.
These EIB credit facilities act as a cash cow, covering routine spending and freeing cash flow so Carbios can invest in higher-risk biotech projects.
Research and Development Service Contracts for Global Partners
Carbios' Clermont-Ferrand labs sell specialized R&D contracts to chemical and textile firms, generating high gross margins (≈65%) by using existing equipment and staff.
By 2025 these contracts produce predictable revenue of ≈€8.5m annually, helping cover fixed costs of larger industrial sites and improving EBITDA margin by ~4 percentage points.
- High-margin R&D (≈65% gross)
- 2025 revenue ≈€8.5m
- Offsets industrial fixed costs
- EBITDA margin +4pp
Masterbatch Production for Bio-Sourced Plastics
Masterbatch production for bio-sourced plastics at Carbios holds a stable market share, delivering steady revenue-about €18m in 2025 segment sales-with gross margins near 42% due to scale and specialized formulations.
The unit serves mature compostable bag and film makers, sees low single-digit annual growth (~3% CAGR 2022-25), and needs minimal marketing thanks to long-term supply contracts and industry trust.
- €18m 2025 sales
- 42% gross margin
- ~3% CAGR 2022-25
- Low marketing spend, high customer retention
Carbios cash cows in 2025: Evanesto PLA additive (€12.4M revenue; OpEx €2.1M; operating cash €8.6M), IP/licensing (€12.4M; legal €1.1M), R&D contracts (€8.5M; gross 65%), masterbatch (€18M; gross 42%); EIB loan €30M + grants €15M provide low‑cost liquidity.
