  Current paper-based bags are not sealable unless a plastic material is used in their composition. In most of the cases, a polyethylene material is extruded on top of the paper to allow the heat-sealing.
  
  Future regulations will push in the sense of more eco-friendly packaging. In other words, more recyclability and more packaging made of a single material.
  
  Paper bags cannot be sealed if they are not associated to a plastic layer which makes their recyclability impossible.

Non-thermal sterilisation and innovative packaging technologies for wet and dry food products

non-thermal sterilisation, improved sensorial profile, paper-based packaging, biopolymers,
- Resultado deseado
  
  New methods to sterilise ‘wet’ products (soups, stocks etc) which minimises the negative impact on freshness of flavour, nutritional content, colour, taste and texture. Specifically non-thermal processes to achieve ‘commercial sterility’. Also innovative flexible packaging materials which are more ‘natural’ and sustainably sourced, involving less wastage / increased recyclability etc. Paper-based options are especially of interest for dry products (e.g. stock cubes, powdered soups etc)

  Detalles de la demanda :
  
  We are working with a large European food products company, specialising in innovative ingredients to ‘help you cook’ – their range of ambient products includes:-
  - ‘Wet’ food (soups, broths, vegetable sauces and ready meals)
  - ‘Dry’ foods and seasoning ingredients (dried soups, stock cubes, seasoning powders)
  These products assist consumers to prepare tasty and nutritious meals that have a natural and traditional ‘home-cooked’ flavour. Whilst these flavours are important to the consumer, we recognise the consumer’s desire for improvement in both the nutritional and sensorial profile of the products, as well as a reduction in the use of wasteful or eco-unfriendly packaging. Therefore, we are interested finding technologies / products / processes in the following areas:-
  
  New methods to sterilise ‘wet’ products which minimises the negative impact on freshness of flavour, nutritional content, colour, taste and texture. Specifically we are looking for non-thermal processes to achieve ‘commercial sterility’.
  
  Traditionally heat treatments are used to sterilise the products, either UHT process or retorting. These treatments negatively affect the colour, taste and nutritional content of the products - especially for ‘non-cooked’ products such as gazpacho; cheese-based or light-coloured sauces; vegetable based products.
  
  We are interested to find new, state-of the-art non-thermal sterilisation methods / technologies which will improve the nutritional and sensorial profile of the products.
  
  Example alternatives include:-
  - Pulsed electric fields, high hydrostatic pressure, ultra-high pressure homogenisation, plasma sterilisation, etc.
  
  Potential solutions should:-
  - Retain the nutritional values and textural qualities of the ingredients
  - Provide a shelf life of 9-12 months
  - Avoid antioxidants / maintain a clean label
  - Be applicable to existing packaging such as cans, glass, Tetrapack, etc.
  
  Innovative flexible packaging materials which are more ‘natural’ and sustainably sourced, involving less wastage and increased recyclability etc. Paper-based technologies are especially of interest, but biopolymers will also be considered.
  
  Presently much of the client’s flexible food packaging involves multilayer structures (usually including aluminium and / or plastic materials) which are not easily recyclable and are perceived as not natural by the consumer.
  
  We are seeking novel, improved ‘active’ paper-based packaging innovations and biopolymer materials for dry soup pouches and stock cube (compressed & moulded) wrappings. Solutions could be modified paper with enhanced barrier properties (moisture, gases, aromas, oil resistance) through the use of surface treatments, additives, etc.
  
  The packaging materials must provide:-
  - Adequate stiffness for standard manufacturing processes
  - Medium / high barrier properties
  - Fat resistance
  - Ability to seal and fold (in the case of stock cubes)
  
  Potential solutions should:-
  - Reduce the use of non-renewable resources
  - Reduce the overall amount of packaging / waste
  - Reduce carbon footprint

Technology to allow production of aluminium food & beverage cans with little or no water

aluminium drawing & ironing, waterless systems, closed loop, non-toxic
- Resultado deseado
  
  We are searching for innovative technologies, systems, products and / or materials to allow aluminium food and beverage cans to be manufactured with less or no water requirement. A closed loop system with no toxic waste products would also be considered a significant improvement.

  Detalles de la demanda :
  
  Background:
  The production of aluminium cans is capital intensive and involves numerous process steps, many of which require water and / or water-based lubricants, as a cooling agent, and in particular to wash away fines, lubricant residues, etc prior to protecting, coating, filling and sealing. Typically, 15 - 65 gallons of water are required per 1000 cans (differs between individual plants). Our client is looking to drastically reduce this usage by adopting new forming techniques, novel ‘washless’ or waterless lubrication and / or cooling materials or mechanisms, and closed loop systems whereby the water that is used can be cleaned for re-use in the plant.
  
  Problems:
  - The drawing and wall ironing process generates a great deal of heat / friction (aluminium is reduced from gauge of ~0.25mm to ~100microns), hence the need for cutting oil / lubricants and coolants.
  - The cans must be scrupulously clean prior to coating on both sides (to prevent corrosion and allow printing), hence a 4-stage washing process. This includes the use of etching chemicals such as HF.
  - If employing a closed loop system the resulting waste sludge is classified as hazardous due to the aluminium particulates / fines (up to 30 microns) and various chemicals involved in the production process. This is expensive to remove.
  - The manufacturing process uses a number of solvents and other hazardous chemicals which not only contaminate the waste stream but give off toxic emissions meaning the sites on which plants can be placed are restricted.
  
  Solutions:
  Potentially any technology that allows the production of cans without water, or with as little water as possible, will be considered, including:-
  - Alternative forming techniques, e.g. without lubrication / coolant
  - Improved die technology, e.g. coatings for dies / tooling to operate at lower temperatures
  - Alternative cooling systems / mechanisms, e.g. cooling surface of the dies
  - Novel lubrication systems, such as a combined lubricant and coating, which doesn’t need to be washed off, or is water soluble, or can be removed without water (solutions could include pre-coated aluminium and polymer laminates, etc)
  - Waterless or ‘washless’ cleaning systems
  - New coatings / lacquers with ‘cleaner’ chemical content and avoiding use of VOCs
  - Alternative ‘greener’ mechanisms for etching fines from surface of the can (HF is currently used)
  - Water treatment systems that reduce or remove the usage of chemical agents, as well as the aluminium residues, to render the waste non-hazardous and thus potentially recyclable.
  
  Our client does NOT currently use silicon in their production process due to difficulties with contamination – therefore, we prefer not to use a silicone based solution unless it can be shown to not be detrimental to other processes, or could be removed completely from the can / equipment.
  
  The client is an established manufacturer, well used to developing best practice for their production plants. There is an ongoing economic and environmental requirement to reduce the water usage of their plants, and therefore minimise the impact to the local area. Considerable work has already been done to reduce consumption, but the client is looking for step-change technology to create a plant of the future. They are keen to simplify the production process, remove hazardous chemicals and generally create a ‘clean’ process that minimises use of local resources. The company has in-house development capabilities and will consider most forms of commercial collaboration, including licensing, joint development and acquisition. Any technology should have the potential to be scaled for high volume processes Leer más
