Scale up for the win! Hierarchically structured zeolites are prepared on a large scale by desilication followed by forming into mm‐sized bodies. Extrapolation of the superior catalytic properties is proven by the remarkable similarity between pilot and laboratory scale results. The binder and the shaping process does not alter the enhanced porous properties of the mesoporous zeolite. These results unlock the door towards the study of further key steps in the design of mesoporous zeolite catalysts for large scale applications.
