Today's environmental and sustainability concerns are on top of the list of priorities for the industry, society and governments. The urgent need to solve problems of air pollution and climate change is challenging the industry to meet new quality and environment standards for production, supply and product development as well as waste reclying. Green technologies, IoT, smart apps and the cleantech industry are fast emerging not only from the traditional industry but also from the Startups and research organizations that launch disruptive and very innovate solutions and products into the market. SmartCities are developing fast while launching new technology calls to the industry, Startups and research organizations. There is a great amount of research funding available for any player in the are of green technologies such as desalination, solid waste management, recycling etc. The demand for innovation in environmental friendly technology is growing and there are lots of opportunities for cooperation and join development.

Seeking multifunctional ingredient with antimicrobial properties for personal care applications Preservatives added to personal care product to control microbial spoilage, extend product shelf life and prevent infection in humans. Microbiological control is critical in the beauty industry because microbial spoilage will cause product degradation, leading to potential human health hazard. In recent years, due to growing human health concerns with traditional preservatives like paraben and Isothiazolinones (MIT/CMIT), consumers are drawn toward “’preservative-free’ or ‘self-preserving’ personal care formulations. Here, the company is seeking multifunctional personal care ingredients which apart from delivering its primary property also exhibits a certain level of antimicrobial activity. The ideal ingredients can be emollients, surfactants, rheology modifiers, solubilizer or bio-active. compounds/extracts that can also control microbial spoilage for skin and haircare applications.

Seeking effective ways to combat malodours on surfaces in household area Malodour is defined as an olfactory stimulant that when detected is considered to be offensive to the individual. Common malodours are often attributed to poor personal hygiene including halitosis, damp dog smells, tobacco smells, bathroom odours as well as damp clothing. Depending on the type and source of odour, specific solutions against it are necessary. The fight against malodours in the household area is time and energy consuming. For many consumers common ways e.g. masking of odour with fragrance are no longer adequate and more effective solutions are required. The company is searching for solutions that can be applied to consumer products to ensure long-term effectiveness in malodour control, especially focusing on new and effective means of eliminating malodours on soft surfaces (e.g. prevent the smell from lingering on clothes or fabrics), as odours can be deposited and easily trapped in materials. The company is specifically looking for a solution which contains active molecules that attract and eliminates malodours completely and permanently.

Seeking eco-friendly bleaching and oxidative cleaving process for waxes Waxes are typically make up of linear or branched-chain hydrocarbon chains and can contain polar functionalities like e.g. ester or amide groups. Their importance has been well recognized, especially with the growing demand of modern consumer products like packaging, cosmetics and pharmaceutical. Plant-based or renewable waxes are also gaining favor in recent years due to higher sustainability compared to fossil based waxes. We are seeking sustainable green oxidative cleavage process that can convert renewable ester waxes, like rice bran wax and sugar cane wax, to similar end products obtained by conventional processes. Many oxidative cleavage processes are already established in the industry, but not many are eco-friendly. Furthermore, with the shifting focus from fossil waxes to plant-based waxes, alternative oxidative technologies do result in chemically different products from different plants. Here the company is keen to explore modern bleaching technologies or to work with technology-partners with bleaching experiences on renewable materials. The company is open to partners from any country and to a variety of cooperation. Research cooperation agreements with research organizations might yield into publications or consequent R&D contracts. Depending on the stage of technology readiness, an out-licensing of the process is possible or a joint venture might be a way to further develop for feasibility studies for a pilot scale up.

Seeking a solution to eliminate spatter from the welding process in steel assemblies production We are seeking a solution to eliminate spatter from the welding process. The solution should be able to be incorporated into an actual GMAW process. Welding spatter is usually measured by the quantity of balls or welding beads that are added to the assembly parts (which latter have to be removed) and/or the amount of sparks that jump from the arc weld. We are seeking innovative new methods that are capable of efficient and complete removal of the spatter effect during the GMAW process.
