Boosting the Industrial Uptake of Biodegradable polymers

for packaging applications by implementing digital tools and advanced techniques to achieve a holistic sustainability goal.

Be-UP, an EU-funded Horizon Europe project driving innovation in biodegradable and recyclable materials.

Be-UP is an EU-funded Horizon Europe project driving innovation in biodegradable and recyclable materials. The project accelerates the development of advanced biopolyesters with higher renewable content, improved performance, and enhanced biodegradability, supported by cutting-edge digital modelling tools.

Our mission

  • Replace 50,000 tons of non-biodegradable plastics by 2032
  • Reduce CO2 emissions at European scale
  • Deliver industrially validated TRL7 packaging prototypes

Be-UP bridges scientific innovation and industrial deployment to shape the next generation of sustainable packaging in Europe.
