Our exposure to micro and nano-plastic particles may result from the widespread use of plastic products and their release into the environment, where they degrade and enter our food chains, air, and water.

PlasticsFatE (Plastics Fate and Effects in the human body) is creating a comprehensive measurement programme to improve our present understanding of the impact of these particles and associated contaminants in the human body. This will inform a risk assessment strategy to support the health-relevant aims of the EU strategies for plastics. PlasticsFatE is a 48-month project funded by the Horizon 2020 Research and Innovation programme of the European Union. The project will run from 1st April 2021 to 31st March 2025.

Established in 2011 by Truffle Capital, Carbios is a green chemistry company, developing biological and innovative processes.

Through its unique approach of combining enzymes and plastics, Carbios aims to address new consumer expectations and the challenges of a broad ecological transition by taking up a major challenge of our time: plastic and textile pollution. Carbios deconstructs any type of PET (the dominant polymer in bottles, trays, textiles made of polyester) into its basic components which can then be reused to produce new PET plastics with equivalent quality to virgin ones. This PET innovation, the first of its kind in the world, was recently recognized in a scientific paper published in front cover of the prestigious journal Nature.

The Company has also developed an enzymatic biodegradation technology for PLA-based (a bio sourced polymer) single-use plastics. This technology can create a new generation of plastics that are 100% compostable at ambient temperatures, integrating enzymes at the heart of the plastic product. For more information,
