Metal-oxide dispersions are used in a wide range of applications, but have not been exploited at all for the removal of agricultural atmospheric pollutants such as ammonia and PM2.5.Codikoat proposes using a novel combination of metal-oxides and a scaffold that generates a small charge when exposed to light. This will create, in effect, a molecular filter...

It is challenging to apply the waste hierarchy of _reduce, reuse, recycle_ to food packaging. Reduction would lead to shorter shelf life and greater food waste, with worse impact than the reduction in packaging. 46.2% of food packaging is currently recycled, with the remainder incinerated, buried in landfill or exported with unknown fate. Virtually no foo...

CodiKoat have developed a novel antiviral film ('GoVirol'(r)) for use on hard surfaces. Our technology uses the electric charge created by arrays of photoactive particles to disrupt viral (and bacterial) cell structure. These arrays are currently successfully being produced by atomic layer deposition, onto adhesive sheets that are then cut to the sizes ne...

Single use plastic packaging, whilst used throughout global food/drink supply chains, has had a major impact on finite resource use, waste generation and pollution. Five million tonnes of plastic are used in the UK each year (UK Government, 2021). There is an urgent need to address plastics use, with international organisations (e.g., UN Sustainable Devel...

Codikoat have developed a novel filter material (Codivent) which is effective at removing both harmful small particles and poisonous gasses from the atmosphere. In an indoor space it can remove over 99.9% of nitrogen oxides (NOx - harmful gasses known to cause respiratory problems in humans) from the air. Gasses like NOx are produced in the home from acti...

The coronavirus pandemic has reversed the move towards reusable plasticware and other materials, with single use product utilisation increasing as a way of reducing the risk of infection spread. As businesses and events open back up this return to disposable plastic use will put a massive strain on both resources and the environment. Recup (Project Lead) ...

Nanoparticle arrays are used in a wide range of applications, but have not been exploited at all for the removal of domestic atmopsheric pollutants. Codikoat propose using a novel combination of nanoparticles and a scaffold that generates a small charge when exposed to light. This will create, in effect, a molecular filter that will be able to trap pollut...

CodiKoat are developing a novel surface treatment that when used on face masks means they can be reused. We are combining nanoparticles with a specific surface chemistry that means viruses are destroyed within seconds of contacting the surface. This will reduce the need for near continual face mask replacement in clinical settings, and when rolled out to ...

Covid-19 has severely impacted the UK, with social distancing and lockdown severely compromising business activities. The economy cannot afford a second spike in the Covid-19 outbreak but now that lockdown is being eased, businesses and public places are becoming increasingly crowded. Businesses need to ensure they are Covid-secure to protect their worker...
