Seeking Recycling technologies for biodegradable films |
| |
We are looking for solutions to convert bio-based packaging back to starting materials or other high-value added chemicals (no fuels). |
Seeking to Reduce Contamination in Production Lines (Converting Machines) |
| |
We are seeking to reduce contamination in our production lines (converting machines). The specific machines use diverse web materials (mainly non-woven based) to produce our products. The materials come to our machines in a planetary roll form. Those rolls would be unwound and conveyed through the converting processes (combining, cutting…) to form final products. Within this process, the web materials release different sources of contamination (e.g. dust &/or fibers) causing accumulation of contamination in all places of the machine where it can settle. With the late changes of materials, we have seen a substantial increase in contamination. As a result, we need to move cleaning times from 8 hour intervals (10 minute cleaning with 2 operators) to less than 6 hour intervals (>15min cleaning with 4 people). In order to maintain operability standards and productivity, we are seeking methods to return to 8 hour cleaning intervals. |
Seeking Glue-free and Plastic-free closure of paper packaging |
| |
We are looking for a technology to seal paper packaging materials (paper only with no plastic coating) without using traditional glues or any other additive. For a sustainable packaging application, we're looking for a technology to seal or crimp kraft paper without using glue or plastic coating applied on the paper. Ideally, we want to seal 100% untreated paper without adding any other chemicals. Our preferred solution would be a folding of the packaging material |
Sustainable mulching of liquid application for weed control in perennial crops. |
| |
A sustainable mulch has been developed and validated that improves the existing mulches being free of environmentally harmful substances. This mulch is based on the blends of agricultural by-products and paper slurry and is applied in pasty conditions on the soil thus creating a sheet of the desired thickness on the soil. Weed control is high when the sheet dries out rapidly. At present, work is focused on designing a machine prototype to be able to apply the blends on the soil in a mechanized way. |
Biogenesis on-demand for the production of carotenoids and phytonutrients |
| |
CSIC and the Center for Research in Agricultural Genomics have developed a biotechnological method for the biofortification in carotenoids and other phytonutrients of green tissues. The method is based on the controlled induction of chromoplasts. The mechanism could be applied to the development of novel functional foods or bio factories for a variety of industries. Industrial partners are being sought to collaborate through a patent license agreement. |
Vulcanaer: Air Hybrid for Diesel Engines |
| |
Vulcanaer is a novel regenerative hybrid engine system for diesel transport systems, particularly urban busses and delivery trucks. It converts a vehicle engine into an air pump during decelerations. It harvests the braking energy and stores it as compressed air for subsequent use to restart the engine in stop/start operation, saving battery and starter motor life. It also saves fuel as the compressed air also assists the normal engine-driven air compressor. Furthermore it can enhance the turbo thus reducing black smoke during acceleration from stationary |
