Normec OWS is proud to contribute its scientific testing expertise to the Be‑UP project, a European collaboration focused on accelerating the development of innovative bio-based materials.
Be‑UP brings together leading partners from across Europe to reduce dependence on fossil-based plastics by developing high-quality, bio-based alternatives. Within the project, Normec OWS conducts independent assessments of biodegradability, compostability, and ecotoxicity.
By providing transparent, data-driven insights, Normec OWS helps ensure that new materials are not only innovative but also perform sustainably at the end of their life cycle.
This collaboration supports the broader European bioeconomy and helps translate promising research into practical, sustainable applications.
Whether it’s monitoring, permitting, quality control, or complex environmental issues, together we provide reliable insights you can rely on with confidence.
Normec OWS has been recognized as a key innovator by the European Commission’s Innovation Radar for its contribution to the EU-funded research and innovation project PRESERVE.
Normec OWS recently hosted the third general meeting of the REBIOLUTION project at its headquarters in Ghent.
We are pleased to announce that Normec OWS is participating in the POLYMEER project, an innovative initiative funded by the Circular Bio-Based Europe Joint Undertaking (CBE JU). This ambitious project focuses on converting spent grain (BSG) into sustainable bioplastic products, thereby contributing to the transition away from traditional plastics.
Normec OWS is proud to be part of the REBIOLUTION project, a European initiative in which nine partners from seven EU countries are collaborating. Together, we are developing innovative, bio-based, biodegradable, and recyclable plastics that address the sustainability challenges in the packaging and agricultural sectors.
