OrganicUp
A circular project turning kombucha waste into sustainable, biodegradable packaging
The main goal of this initiative is to foster a positive collaboration between producers, packagers, and consumers to significantly reduce waste and costs associated with food consumption.
The project focuses on creating eco-friendly, biodegradable, and recyclable packaging made from organic by-products of kombucha production, particularly using SCOBY (Symbiotic Culture of Bacteria and Yeast).

Environmental sustainability
Reduces pollution and plastic waste by converting kombucha by-products into biodegradable, compostable, and recyclable packaging materials.
Circular value creation
Transforms organic waste into new resources, promoting a closed-loop system that adds value across the production and consumption chain.
Economic and social impact
Lowers production and waste management costs while fostering collaboration between producers, packagers, and consumers to drive sustainable innovation.
Our Collaboration
Our Collaboration
In the OrganicUp project, Blue Room Innovation acts as the technological and circular innovation partner, contributing its expertise in digital transformation, traceability, and sustainability. The company supports the consortium by developing the digital framework that ensures transparency and efficiency throughout the value chain, from the recovery of kombucha by-products (SCOBY) to the creation of biodegradable packaging materials.
Blue Room Innovation also plays a key role in bridging design, manufacturing, and technology, ensuring that the project’s outcomes are scalable, measurable, and aligned with circular economy principles. Through its experience in European innovation projects, Blue Room Innovation strengthens the collaboration among partners and helps translate research and design into tangible, market-ready solutions that contribute to a more sustainable packaging industry.
The Solution
OrganicUp offers an innovative solution that transforms waste generated during kombucha production specifically the SCOBY (Symbiotic Culture of Bacteria and Yeast) into biodegradable and recyclable biomaterials for the creation of sustainable packaging.
Through biotechnological processes and circular design, the project converts an organic by-product into a valuable raw material, reducing environmental impact and promoting a more responsible production model. This solution not only fosters the circular economy, but also strengthens collaboration among producers, designers, and manufacturers to move toward a more sustainable food system.
