Carbon Blue aims to recycle plastic waste. Founded by Stéphane Testa, the company transforms used plastic sourced from the Marseille area into unique furniture, sold locally. They plan to replicate this model throughout France and internationally. Carbon Blue’s microplastic recycling factories are already being set up in Bordeaux and maybe soon in Africa. We visited the Testa family at their pilot micro-factory in Gémenos, near Marseille.

Plastic, a cornerstone of 20th-century industrialization, is now a major pollutant. The UN warns of a “toxic tidal wave” with 400 million tonnes of plastic waste generated annually. This waste pollutes oceans, soil, and the food chain, posing a significant environmental threat alongside global warming.

The Single-Use Plastic (SUP) Directive targets plastic pollution by mandating all packaging be reusable or recyclable by 2030. However, plastic production continues due to its utility in packaging, storage, and transportation, leading to an accumulation of waste.

At Carbon Blue, we don't just recycle plastic: we supply the "shovels" of the ecological transition, just like Samuel Brannan who, during the gold rush, prospered by selling tools to prospectors.

 

Our modular, connected microfactories locally transform plastic waste into pellets or semi-finished products, eliminating transportation costs and emissions. This decentralized model replaces landfilling and incineration, giving way to an efficient, short supply chain, boosting the local economy while reducing the carbon footprint.

Reducing carbon emissions through innovative solutions. Making a sustainable future accessible to all.
