Seeking kerbside recyclable alternative to our flexible plastic bags used in frozen food cooking for microwave usage

• Posted by Nomad Foods
• ·
• Project Size : 0 - 50,000 €

As a global market leader in frozen foods, Nomad Foods is seeking to future-proof our packaging portfolio by identifying sustainable, kerbside-recyclable alternatives to our current flexible plastic bags. The solution must withstand continuous storage at -18°C and meet RecyClass RAM Grade A or B criteria, specifically optimized for the UK recycling infrastructure. We prioritize materials that can be integrated into existing manufacturing lines and are supported by case studies of successful market implementation. The ideal solution should be scalable across our global brand footprint.

Enhanced Conversational Search through Caching Historical Embeddings

This technology introduces a client-side document embedding cache designed to enhance the responsiveness of conversational search systems. By caching document embeddings relevant to a conversation's initial topic, it enables faster and more relevant responses to successive queries, leveraging dense retrieval models for semantic understanding. This innovation not only achieves a high hit rate but also maintains the integrity of search results. For example, when a user inquires about "weather patterns," and later asks about "rainfall in the forest," the system could quickly provides specific, relevant documents from the cache based on the semantic linkage established by the initial query, thus streamlining the search process within the conversational context.

• Patents for licensing

Researchers from Universitat de València in collaboration with Università della Calabria have developed a new patented technology related to water recycling and Metal-Organic Frameworks. The patent application consists of new materials that eliminate inorganic and organic pollutants in a single step. In this way, these materials avoid the multi-step sequential protocols that are currently applied in water recycling plants. The materials of this invention are based on Multivariate Metal-Organic Frameworks (MTV-MOFs). They have a wide range of applications in water recycling plants such as pharmaceutical, textile, food, plastic, mining... etc, as well as for agricultural and domestic use.
