The project upPE-T aims to bring an innovative solution for the upcycling PE and PET post-consumer packaging wastes by transforming them into a range of biodegradable & recyclable bioplastics (PHBVs) for food & drink packaging manufacturing.

​

upPE-T will directly contribute to achieve the expected impacts of the topic by: (a) upcycling up to 60% of food & drink packaging plastic wastes (PE & PET) by 2030, (b) highly contribute to increase upgraded waste recycling facilities by introducing an innovative biocatalytic system in the recycling sector, (c) establishing a viable roadmap to ensure 60% of food and drinks plastic packaging will be produced from renewable sources, (d) increase awareness among European citizens of products and materials upcycling capacity, and (e) standardisation & certification facilitating future replicability and widest use and ensure market acceptance.
