Main objective
The BE-UP project aims to develop a new generation of biodegradable materials for packaging applications, based on advanced biopolyesters and aligned with the principles of sustainability and the circular economy.
Description and results:
Get to Know Us
BE-UP aims to develop innovative aliphatic-aromatic biopolyesters—combined with commercial biopolymers, catalysts, and additives and optimized through advanced digital modeling—to create sustainable, recyclable packaging. The materials will be evaluated for processability, performance, biodegradability, and recyclability, while also generating circular design tools and guidelines aligned with the Safe and Sustainable by Design (SSbD) framework and contributing to the standardization of packaging testing and labeling.
