 | Seeking technologies to reduce GHGs in all aspects of the supply chain and manufacturing process. |
|
PepsiCo is committed to reducing GHG emissions from seed to shelf. We are looking to engage with partners who can assist us in our goal of reducing GHG 20% by 2030 and achieving net-zero emissions by 2050. As new technologies emerge, efficiencies will be gained and PepsiCo aims to remain at the forefront of best practices in the food and beverage industry. PepsiCo is seeking technologies to reduce GHGs in all aspects of the supply chain and manufacturing process. Solutions may be in one or more of the following areas: • Agriculture – sustainable farming and the reduction of GHG intensive fertilizers • Manufacturing – adopting energy efficient manufacturing processes; novel methods for utilizing waste; use of renewable thermal energy at scale • Packaging – alternative packaging materials and formats that reduce GHGs • Distribution – technologies to assist in the efficiency of our company-owned and third party fleet |
 | Seeking Glue-free and Plastic-free closure of paper packaging |
|
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 |
| | Seeking natural colors for foods and beverages |
|
PepsiCo is evaluating different natural color ingredients and technologies to replace Yellow #5, Yellow #6, Red #40, and Blue #1 for multiple food and beverage brands in order to address consumer demand. Specific challenges are in the Red #40 (food) and Blue #1 (food & beverage) replacers. |
 | GEL-AID: Gelified isotonic water for hydration in dysphagia |
|
GEL-AID is a new formulation for hydration adapted to different needs of dysphagia. A new formulation based on different types of thickeners that allows the commercialization of an isotonic gelled water ready for its consumption; that shows a uniform consistency, with three different viscosities adapted to different needs of dysphagia; a greater stability of the gel over time (without refrigeration); at a lower price and with a proven hydration capacity. |
 | Spider silk-based sustainable materials |
|
Background Spider silk, particularly dragline silk, has exceptional mechanical properties which make it an attractive source of natural fiber for different materials. Dragline silk is strong, tough, light, wettable, biodegradable and biocompatible. However, the adoption of spider dragline silk as a widely used natural material is hindered by its water sensitivity, i.e. embrittlement in dry environments, structure complexity, and unclear spinning mechanism of production. Attempts to produce synthetic spider silk are ongoing but large-scale manufacturing is still problematic. The present invention is a production method of artificial dragline silk using photosynthetic bacteria. |
 | Ecological concretes and mortars |
|
A multidisciplinary public-private research consortium has developed a simple and innovative process to transform submerged arc welding slag waste into activated materials (geopolymers) that can be used as environmentally friendly substitutes for Portland cement to manufacture concrete or mortar-based construction materials. These new materials are characterised by low production costs, are environmentally friendly, sustainable, do not generate waste in their production process, and have excellent physico-chemical properties. Companies interested in acquiring this technology for its commercial exploitation are sought. |
