CARBIOS is pleased that the European Commission has authorised the
‘Circular Economy’ State aid scheme
- A
significant step towards the payment to CARBIOS of grant subsidies
validated by ADEME and the Grand Est Region, totalling €42.5m, for
the construction of the CARBIOS Longlaville biorecycling plant in
France
-
CARBIOS has reaffirmed its objective of building its PET
biorecycling plant in Longlaville once the additional public and
private financing, in particular non-dilutive financing, has been
secured
Clermont-Ferrand (France), 6 February
2025 (18:30 CET). CARBIOS,
(Euronext Growth Paris : ALCRB), a pioneer in the
development and industrialization of biological technologies to
reinvent the life cycle of plastic and textiles, is pleased that
the European Commission has authorised the ‘Circular Economy’ State
aid scheme.
This aid scheme, notified by France, is to
support the chemical recycling of plastic waste. It is designed to
promote investments in technologies for transforming plastic waste
into new raw materials while reducing the industry's carbon
footprint.
A positive step towards the payment of
grant subsidies to CARBIOS for the construction of the Longlaville
biorecycling plant, as part of the overall public and private
funding
This approval paves the way to effective payment
of the subsidies, totalling €42.5 million, for CARBIOS Longlaville
plant.
CARBIOS was selected by the French government to
receive non-dilutive funding of €30 million under the France 2030
national ‘Plastics Recycling’ call for projects operated by ADEME,
as well as €12.5 million from the Grand-Est Region. The
implementation of this funding was conditional upon the European
Commission's approval of the ‘Circular Economy’ State aid
program.
The authorisation granted by the European
Commission should enable the final contractual agreements with the
Grand Est Region and ADEME to be signed and the grant obtained to
be implemented. At the same time, CARBIOS is continuing its
discussions with private and public financial institutions likely
to provide addtional financing for the project under favorable
conditions.
