Seeking kerbside recyclable alternative to our flexible plastic bags used in frozen food cooking for microwave usage

• Posted by Nomad Foods
• ·
• Project Size : 0 - 50,000 €

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.

PRISM: Plastic packaging Recycling using Intelligent Separation technologies for Materials

• Innovative Products and Technologies

PRISM is a process for rapidly automatically sorting packaging based on intelligent labels with invisible markers. Codes are written using luminescent materials, typically inorganic phosphors. At the recycling facility the articles are subject to excitation radiation of a specific wavelength and a few seconds/milliseconds later are subject to infra‑red detection as currently. This 2‑step process can identify articles according to the codes and sort them as specified. The benefits include increased recycling rates, the ability to sort articles by their end use (food, non-food) and composition increasing the value of such plastic. Incorporation into existing recycling facilities is easy and cost‑effective with a limited need for capital investment.

Drag Reduction in Vehicles to increase fuel efficiency and reduce CO2

• Innovative Products and Technologies

For heavy goods vehicles (HGV) 10% drag reduction is achieved by combining a single embedded trough at the rear end of the vehicle roof and troughs at the rear end of each side of the vehicle. This will result in significant fuel efficiencies during operation. Brunel University London is seeking companies who are interested in partnering to scale up this patented design. This could be HGV trailer manufacturers or in related areas of manufacturing of cars, particularly high performance/speed vehicles, coaches, train carriages and boats.

Universal sensor platform for immunoassay

• Patents for licensing

The research group in Bioelectrochemistry and Biosensors of the University of Alcalá has developed a method for the construction of a universal analytical device that allows the adaptation of any ELISA format to an immunosensor format, in order to develop simple, low cost and easy to use sensors. This device is based on the sequential deposition of self-assembled monolayers of polymers and affinity elements, applicable for the detection and quantification of any analyte or target antigen in a liquid sample, which allows the development of "on-demand" immunosensors. The group looks for companies or institutions from agro-food, bio-sanitary and environmental sector, interested in reaching collaboration agreements, commercial agreements with technical assistance or patent licensing.
