Laminated materials have many technical advantages, but they present a significant problem when it comes to recycling due to the differences in melting points between the polymeric materials that make them up, thus restraining them from being reprocessed by extrusion. The traditional methods used for delamination are based on selective dissolution,

The invention is an engine that converts low-grade thermal energy into mechanical work. The innovation in the proposed solution is the possibility of using low-quality heat from renewable energy sources or waste heat in a previously unused manner. A significant advantage of the proposed solution is that this engine does not require electricity for

Bread is among the top 3 wasted food globally, with hundreds of tons being discarded daily. Unsold breads are returned to bakeries from retail outlets at the end of the day despite being fit for consumption, as customers prefer to purchase freshly baked over day old produce. These breads are redistributed to charitable organisations, sold as animal

In the recent years, there has been a growing demand for biotechnology-based processes for material, chemical and fuel production to minimise the environmental impacts that chemical technology based alternatives may cause, and an increasing need to reduce waste generation amidst resource and environmental concerns. A research team has developed an

Currently, most of the reported meat sauce fermentation processes are based on the natural fermentation of koji under high salt conditions, which is prepared by culturing a mold (such as Aspergillus oryzae ) on a mixture of cooked soybeans and wheat flour, and the fermentation duration ranges from 3 months to 12 months. To prevent the growth of spo

Most commodity goods are packaged using synthetic polymers (plastics) and are treated as one-time use. Hence, considerable amounts of packaging waste ends up in land fills. Efforts to replace plastic packaging with biodegradable packaging have met with limited success. For instance, current biodegradable packaging materials are either expensive or

Company's patent-pending technology upcycles by-products and solid food waste into high-protein high fiber ingredients. Company's process was tested at the University of Minnesota, scalability tests resulted in investment from manufacturing partner Cereal Docks. 50% protein concentrate and 35% protein flour showcased at trade shows in 2018 resulted

This current technology is a synthesis of dye carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) from agricultural wastes (e.g rice straw, bagasse and corn cob) by cooperation of encapsulation and spray drying techniques. It can be applied to be used as food and non-food additives such as stabilizers, thickeners and plasticizers. Dye CMC is more useful as it contains c

Soil erosion and land degradation are global problems that pose major issues in many countries. One of the solutions employed for soil erosion is the use of temporary, degradable geosynthetics to prevent loss of soil from the seedbed and to enhance the growth of vegetation where the vegetation alone should provide sufficient site protection once es

The company aims to add value to agriculture, making it greaner, and reducing the extent of waste and byproducts resulting from our food production. It strives to do so without impinging on the food supply itself. The developed processes take waste and byproducts from agriculture and agriculture processing and upgrade them to value added products.

A large amount of tofu whey is generated on a daily basis as a waste by-product from the manufacture of tofu. Tofu whey, if not properly treated prior to its disposal, can cause environmental problems such as water pollution, especially when improperly disposed of. In addition, the treatment of tofu whey prior to its disposal is costly, and adds on

A blast wall assembly is an integrated system that effectively absorbs blast energy. Unlike conventional systems, the components of the blast wall assembly function in a manner similar to highway "crumple zones" by absorbing the energy generated by the sudden impact of a blast wave on the exterior surface of the blast wall. Although the blast wall

The company develops intensive insect farming systems for sustainable protein production. The company produce high-quality, protein-rich and safe animal nutrition, pet food and organic fertilizer by using a novel, scalable Black Soldier Fly-based bioconversion system to recapture nutrients from organic side-streams. Their innovative circular econom

Organic wastes including animal manure, domestic wastewater sludge, and palm oil mill-based byproducts are predominantly used as fertilizers and require aerobic composting treatment to convert the plant nutrients into plant usable forms before using them in the agricultural fields. The aerobic composting process is time consuming, releases unpleasa
