Pulpex is committed to achieving net-zero emissions, and this project aims to use enzyme treatments to improve the stiffness, strength and detail of paper fibres for moulded recyclable materials. The goal is to produce sustainable paper components by enzyme-based processing that will replace plastic parts, like the threaded piece between a bottle and its ...

The '_Pulpex UK BioScience Initiative_' will help Pulpex Ltd fully achieve its medium-term ambition by replacing its existing petrochemical-based barrier coatings with truly sustainable coatings as barriers to water and foods. The barrier coatings are applied on the interior of the Pulpex sustainable bottle. Sustainable materials are the future of food pa...

This approach is seeking to replace packaging formats that consist of a mixture of laminated plastic, paper and metalized layers for long shelf life applications. Many of these formats can not be easily recycled at the end of their life! This project is therefore seeking to develop a high barrier packaging material made using a coated paper substrate that...

The project will develop cost competitive agricultural mulch films for arable crops that will perform during use but degrade thereafter with no negative impact in terms of producing micro-plastics/ or leaving un-degraded plastics in soil. Agricultural mulch films have been introduced in semi-arid zones in China to make efficient use of limited water suppl...

"**GraCoPack** is a collaboration between industry and academia to develop technology that will assist in the reduction of plastics entering the waterways, oceans and other unfriendly disposal routes, thereby reducing the toxic effect on marine life and eliminating the need for landfill and incineration. Presently plastic films, many used in the packaging...

This project will underpin an UK-Malaysian “Research and Innovation” bridge to accelerate the deployment of knowledge and the exploitation of research that will a) improve the preservation of food during transport/ storage between the producer and the consumer (in urban settings), b) reduce urban solid waste from plastics going to landfill, and c) improve...

To prevent transmission in the human food chain this feasibility project will target control of biofilms formed by microbial pathogens in the meat supply chain. The work will be tested Campylobacter and Salmonella, two of the most common foodborne pathogens in the United Kingdom. A particular focus will be given to the possible inhibition and removal of s...

SAB-Pack: Synergetic AntiBacterial COATings solutions to improve safety and shelf life of chicken meatproducts. The aim of the project is the development of new antimicrobial coatings for new packaging solutionsthat will increase quality, shelf life and safety of chicken meat and chicken meat products.The coating solution will have multiple activity again...

The project is a feasibility study to look at the development and formulation of an emulsified biobased laminating adhesive for the flexible packaging applications. The new adhesive system will have good stability, a high solid content and a fast cure speed at low temperatures. It will be suitable for industrial compositing and or anaerobic digestion at e...

To develop a range of advanced compostable water based adhesives and coatings for food packaging applications.

The demands on the buildings we use are changing. Reducing the energy used to heat our houses and offices is a priority and thermal insulation can help to achieve this aim. However, improvements in sound insulation, thermal mass, indoor air quality and the prevention of condensation are also becoming priotities within the construction sector. What solutio...
