(CercleFinance.com) – The biotechnology company Carbios announces that Carbios Active, its enzymatic solution for the biodegradation of PLA, is included in the United States FDA’s inventory of food contact substances (FCS).
This solution makes it possible to create a new generation of 100% compostable PLA, even at room temperature, and can thus be used to manufacture rigid and flexible packaging in contact with food in the United States.
‘The United States is a key market for Carbios’ biodegradation solution and we expect the FCN authorization to generate significant commercial attraction in North America in 2024,’ comments its managing director Emmanuel Ladent.
