Martine BRISSET, Senior Vice President of Carbios : “After having supervised the production of thousands of tons of plastic destined for the packaging sector, I am now focused on reducing plastic pollution with our biodegradation and biorecycling solutions. I'm very excited to take on this awesome and exciting challenge, one that makes sense for future generations and for industry."

Martine BRISSET has over 30 years of General Management experience in major international groups within the plastic and paper packaging industry, most notably at Amcor, Huhtamaki, Linpac and Klockner Pentaplast. Since 2021, she has held the position of General Manager of Carbiolice in order to integrate this high-potential subsidiary dedicated to biodegradation within the Carbios Group. In her new position as Senior Vice President of Carbios, her main mission will be to successfully deploy the biodegradation technology, facilitate the international expansion of Carbios' activities, organise the recruitment and training of the Group's employees. With numerous recruitments planned throughout the company in 2023, building Carbios’ attractivity will be a strategic topic.

Delphine DENOIZÉ, Innovation Programs Funding, Regulation and LCA Director : "What drives me is the satisfaction of seeing a project through, from concept to reality. At Carbios, all our projects have a positive impact on the environment, and it’s rising to this challenge that makes me passionate about my work. By becoming a member of the Executive Committee, I will support these projects even more enthusiastically, in terms of their structuring and funding, but also in terms of their regulatory compliance and environmental performance.”

After several years working in innovation within the agricultural industry, it was during her time at Céréales Vallées cluster that Delphine DENOIZÉ discovered and assisted in the creation of Carbios. She joined the company in 2016 and was one of its first twenty employees. Initially in charge of Innovation Funding and Regulation, then Project Management for PET biorecycling, she now oversees all the Group’s projects. Her responsibilities include French and European public funding for innovation, regulatory compliance of processes and products around the world, and assessment of their environmental impact through specific tools such as Life Cycle Assessment.
