In the HORIZON Europe and Circular Bio-based Europe Joint Undertaking (CBE JU) funded project HICCUPS, twelve partners from seven countries work on a resource-efficient solution to convert biogenic CO₂ emissions from wastewater treatment plants into bio-based polymers for the packaging industry.

The HICCUPS project aims at maximising scientific, economic and societal impact and support the goals of the HORIZON Europe Action Plan.

The nova-Institute, as leader of the communication and dissemination work package of HICCUPS, has recently relaunched the projects’ website. All information about the objectives, the project partners, news and downloadable material can be found there and will be continuously updated with results, upcoming events and success stories.

Welcome to the New HICCUPS Project Website

The HICCUPS-project is thrilled to announce the launch of its newly designed website, which now beautifully incorporates the projects’ corporate design, reflecting the brand’s identity and values. The updated layout is designed to present the HICCUPS project’s content professionally and accessibly. With improved navigation and a modern aesthetic, the new site ensures a seamless user experience, making it easier for you to explore our innovative work. Stay informed with the latest updates, project developments, and comprehensive insights, all presented in a visually engaging format. Visit the new website to learn more about how HICCUPS is advancing in sustainable bio-based polymer production.

Discover the EU-Funded HICCUPS Project

Additionally, the nova-Institute has launched a brand-new leaflet with great help by the projects’ coordinator Avantium. The leaflet was designed to communicate the key information about the project in a simple, accessible and visually appealing way. An infographic was specially designed to make the chemical process of the HICCUPS project graphically accessible to a wide audience.

Learn about the groundbreaking HICCUPS project in our detailed leaflet. This EU-funded initiative focuses on the design, manufacture, and operation of a gas upgrading process unit to capture and purify CO₂ from biogas at wastewater treatment plants. The project is developing, upscaling, and optimising the multiple steps involved in converting CO₂ to monomers, and further to the polymerisation process for large-scale production of the polymer PLGA. Additionally, the HICCUPS project tests CO₂-derived PLGA for various end-use applications and evaluates the environmental and cost performance of this innovative process. By conducting life cycle assessments, techno-economic assessments, and establishing a monitoring system for carbon removal potential, the HICCUPS project aims to revolutionise the production of bio-based polymers, particularly for packaging materials. Find out more about this innovative project and its contributions to sustainability in our leaflet.
