 | Seeking a next generation material for safe Microwave, Oven and Air Fryer cooking from frozen |
|
As a global market leader in the frozen food sector, Nomad Foods is seeking advanced material solutions capable of maintaining structural and chemical integrity across an extreme thermal lifecycle: from deep-freeze storage at -18°C to active cooking in microwaves, air fryers, and conventional ovens (up to 220°C). The material must not adversely affect the product in any way: Proposals must demonstrate that the material has zero organoleptic impact, ensuring no migration of taste, odor, or aroma to the food product throughout its lifecycle. To ensure the long-term sustainability of our packaging portfolio, the material must achieve a RecyClass Recyclability Assessment Method (RAM) rating of Grade A or B. This may be accomplished through the use of an appropriate barrier coating or by utilising an existing recyclable substrate. The packaging format remains open, though our preference is to identify solutions that could replace our current flexible plastic cook‑in pouches or trays. The technology we are seeking should be at the functional prototype stage. The proposed packaging format must enable a high-performance "cook-in-pack" solution for our consumers. This technology will facilitate steam-cooking directly within the bag, pouch, or enclosed material, preserving the nutritional integrity of the food. The material must offer high transparency, allowing consumers to see the product, allowing us to showcase our vibrant, high-quality ingredients, emphasizing the premium nature and freshness of the Nomad Foods portfolio. |
 | Seeking Biomanufacturing of Transformational Ingredients in Consumer-Packaged Goods |
|
We are looking for approaches to engineer and optimize organisms (microbial and plant) for production and/or purification of relevant biomolecules in a non-trial-and-error format. It is believed that starting from a waste stream will be a more cost-effective solution. We are also interested in plant- or algae-based solutions that are scalable and cost effective. What We Are Looking For: • Strain engineering approaches that achieve target molecule production targets across multiple molecule classes in significantly less time versus the industry average • Host engineering capabilities in non-model systems • Scale up platforms/methods that are amenable to commodity scale ingredients • Downstream processing methods/technologies that facilitate continuous extraction and/or re-use of extractive reagents • Approaches that leverage feedstocks separate from the food chain |
| | Seeking kerbside recyclable alternative to our flexible plastic bags used in frozen food cooking for microwave usage |
|
As a global market leader in frozen foods, Nomad Foods is seeking to future-proof our packaging portfolio by identifying sustainable, kerbside-recyclable alternatives to our current flexible plastic bags. The solution must withstand continuous storage at -18°C and meet RecyClass RAM Grade A or B criteria, specifically optimized for the UK recycling infrastructure. We prioritize materials that can be integrated into existing manufacturing lines and are supported by case studies of successful market implementation. The ideal solution should be scalable across our global brand footprint. |
 | Green Cements, an innovative way to reduce clinker usage while reusing slag |
|
The production of cement is vital for the economic development of any country, as it is a fundamental pillar of the construction industry. However, it is also one of the most polluting processes in the world, as evidenced by the fact that for every ton of cement produced, 1 ton of CO2 is released into the environment. On the other hand, the copper mining industry generates 2.2 tons of slag per ton produced. To put this into perspective, if a plant processes 1000 tons of copper slag, only 6% is transformed into copper, while the rest is disposed of in tailings, contaminating and affecting the lifespan of the mining plant. Our solution uses this copper slag to produce cement, thus reducing the consumption of clinker by 15%, while maintaining early-age compressive strength, increasing the durability of the mortars used, and all this while reducing the amount of CO2 emitted into the environment. Additionally, it allows for the reuse of a waste product from the copper mining industry. |
 | Non-Chlorinated Brake Parts Cleaner |
|
Airable’s brake parts cleaner delivers exceptional cleaning performance while meeting environmental standards. Designed for professional and industrial use, it quickly removes grease, oils, brake dust, dirt, and brake fluid—helping ensure optimal braking system performance. The formula evaporates rapidly, leaving no residue. |
 | Sustainable γ-valerolactone Production via Photothermal Catalysis |
|
Novel and sustainable photothermal catalytic method for synthesizing γ-valerolactone (GV with applications as biofuel, green solvent for the pharma industry, precursor for polymers and perfumery. The process utilizes biomass feedstocks and new scalable nickel-based catalysts that significantlyreduce the energy requirements and avoiding H2 gas. |
