Better Paper Packaging Management (BePacMan)

BePacMan rethinks the life cycle of paper packaging by extending its use through cross-sector and cross-border collaborations. The project, based in the Baltic Sea region, focuses on sustainable business models in logistics, e-commerce, and waste management. BePacMan aims to transform paper packaging from a single-use material into a reusable resource, reducing its environmental impact and CO2 emissions.

BePacMan contributes to more sustainable practices in paper packaging by:

• Extending the life cycle of paper packaging materials
• Reducing waste, CO2 emissions, and energy use
• Developing cross-sector collaborations and sustainable business models
• Focusing on the logistics, e-commerce, and waste management sectors

BePacMan integrates sustainable practices by optimizing waste management and creating innovative solutions for reusing paper packaging. By piloting these solutions across the Baltic Sea region, the project enhances the efficiency and sustainability of paper packaging processes.
