• Project Size : 50,000 - 250,000 €

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

Biological process to treat waste, effluents and organic by-products with industrial origin characterized by high biodegradability. This process adds value to convention-al biological treatment processes, integrating their assumptions on the concept of biorefinery, simultaneously allowing reducing and eliminating organic matter and incorporating organic components in added-value mate-rials (lipids, gases with energetic potential, volatile organic acids and polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHA), instead of discharging as primary products to the environment. The invention aims to reduce by 96% the organic matter content of the starting substrate allowing generally meet the discharge criteria set out in the legislation.

• Investment Opportunities in Startups and Spinoffs

We have developed gasification based technology that enables single step synthesis of DME (Di-methyl Ether) from crop, animal, forest waste, MSW and Biomass-Plastic. DME is soot-less fuel and sustainable replacement to Diesel and LPG and other emerging applications as Hydrogen carrier in fuel cells and feedstock for synthesis of Di-methyl sulphate, higher alcohols.
