Procter & Gamble Technical Centres Limited

To relate the affective response and attitudes of the consumer to the technical performance of products with greater efficiency by the novel application of Rasch methodology.

To develop a modelling and assessment capability to optimise the design, production and supply of sustainable home and personal care consumer products and meet net zero carbon targets.

The chemicals industry must decouple from the fossil dependency of the past and become a planet positive force for the future by embracing new sustainable raw materials and manufacturing processes. The BIOSECT project focuses on next generation sustainable ingredients for cleaning products (e.g. liquid and powder laundry detergents) and other applications...

The SAVVIER project aims to help UK materials and manufacturing organisations become more competitive and fit for the future by helping them work together in efficient and cooperative supply chains. In our vision for the future, the wastes or by-products of one industrial partner in a supply chain become the material inputs for another partner. These 'sec...

This project is about the development of a new business model and capability to enable the utilisation of industrial waste gases from the foundation industries, to generate affordable feedstocks and chemicals for use in the production of consumer products in the UK. Such an industrial symbiosis model will displace the import of non-sustainable materials f...

Many manufacturing industries are seeking to make biodegradable products and/or use natural, bio-sourced, ingredients, while minimising the use of chemical preservatives. However, protecting these products from problematic microbes (such as bacteria, yeasts and mould) is a major challenge. ARGUS (Digit**a**l Cont**r**ol of Microbes for Resilient FMC**G** ...

Protecting Home & Personal Care products (such as laundry detergents, shampoos and cosmetics) from problematic microbes is a critical factor in the design of products, manufacturing systems and integrated supply chains. The industry is increasingly seeking to introduce new, more biodegradable materials, reduce environmental footprints and increase the agi...

Counterfeit products cost the UK economy over £12Bn annually in lost revenue and brand damage. Counterfeit products in healthcare, aviation, pharmaceuticals, electronics and other sectors have significant safety risks. Intogral Ltd and its partners propose to develop an innovative browser software platform for use by the manufacturing supply chain which i...

New therapeutic products in the pharma industries are invariably large, complex chemical molecules -- e.g., synthetic active ingredients, amino acids, peptides etc. In the consumer goods and food industries, complex emulsions form the backbone of products such as detergents, beauty products, milk and other liquid-based foods. An essential pre-requisite fo...

A new generation of THz imagers has been developed by Durham University using Quantum Technology. This high speed, sensitive, safe, non-ionising, imaging system is based on the concept of transforming low energy THz radiation to visible light, which can then be easily imaged using any well-established imaging technology.This breakthrough technological adv...

To develop and embed an understanding of applying molecular probes to better understand the complex 3D molecular systems involved in important cleaning problems relating to household cleaning products.

To develop and build a portable device using SWIR spectroscopy to identify the type, nature and quantity of consumer soil leading to higher quality data and a better understanding of cleaning consumer fabrics, supporting the development of novel cleaning product formulation.
