Our History
Forged in Science and Stewardship
A Legacy of Packaging Innovation,Forged in Science and Stewardship
Founded in Rotterdam by materials scientist Dr. Elena Rossi and environmental engineer Arjun Mehta, BE Globalbegan as a 200m² lab dedicated to one radical idea: packaging should protect food, not the planet. Theirbreakthrough water-soluble adhesive (1987) replaced petroleum-based sealants in cereal boxes, cutting plastic useby 92% per unit. By 1995, we powered all facilities with renewables—a rarity when 98% of competitors relied on coal.
BE Global Legacy Timeline: Engineering Impact Since 1983
2012
Founded in Sydney, focusing on Asia-Pacific supply chain optimization
Our labs pioneer compostable nanocoatings and blockchain- tracked recycling, but we measure success by impact: 83% lower CO₂e per ton of packaging (ISO 14067) and 40% less food waste via intelligent films. Every patent filed (47 in 2024) must pass our "Generational Audit" — assessing consequences 50 years into the future.
