Sustainable packaging addresses the problem of reducing waste, food losses and safety by preventing contamination and chemical degradation and preserving food quality. However, the combination of plastics with components that increase their barrier properties creates low-sustainability materials in which oxygen removal is not guaranteed. In addition, the transparency of the packaging is significantly reduced. In this framework, Bloxy has developed an active and sustainable material that protects food against oxidative processes, by extending the shelf life of food and beverages.
The functional film designed by Bloxy, is environmentally friendly, biodegradable, sustainable and free of any toxicity. It actively removes oxygen from the environment through the biochemical activity of the incorporated proteins. Bloxy's technology will be targeted at food, cosmetics, and drug packaging applications.

Investing in Technology Readiness Levels (TRL) ranging from 3 to 5 requires a careful assessment of the potential of the technology and the team. Due to the low maturity of these projects, these projects require a de-risking process to be carried out directly at the University and Research Center. Eureka! TT S.r.l. is the Italian limited responsibility company fully owned by “Eureka! Fund I – Technology Transfer that acts on behalf of the Fund, in providing financial resources to the pre-company, Proof-of-Concept (“POC”) projects, as well as in monitoring the advancement and the results of such investments.
The resources provided by Eureka! are given to the University and Research Center, in order to develop the technology, increase TRL and support the team of the “to-be entrepreneurs” in proving their ideas are sustainable. Successful projects will be then span-out into new start-ups. Eureka! TT can effectively bridge the gap between the need for a market-driven test and a University-like environment.
Multilayer packaging involves the use of multiple materials to form the structure of a package. Nowadays, there are no strategies to treat multilayer films in closed-loop primary recycling schemes; moreover, these post-consumer waste streams are contaminated with food and other impurities, making their cleaning a challenge. In this context, Reflex developed a graphene based adhesive film that enables delamination separation of the different layers and their recycling in a circular economy. In addition, this film prevents oxygen permeability and creates an excellent gas barrier against food spoilage, by leading to the reduction of the number of layers and packaging weight. Reflex’s technology is intended for food, cosmetic and pharmaceutical packaging applications; Reflex prevents gas penetration and deterioration of the packaged product, by guaranteeing its quality and prolonging its 'shelf life'.

BEYOND CRIOPURA is the result of a partnership between three CNR institutes, the Institute for Polymers, Composites and Biomaterials (IPCB), the Institute for Biomolecular Chemistry (ICB) and the Institute for Microelectronics and Microsystems (IMM). CrioPurA is a patented technology based on polymeric cryogels that are effective in removing potentially toxic elements such as arsenic, chromium and boron from water. The material is employed for water purification and treatment and for the recovery of high value-added compounds (such as metals, phosphates) to reintroduce into the market, by achieving the circular economy target.

ILICO2SEP (Ionic liquids for CO2 separation) involves the development of innovative ionic liquids with hydrophobic property suitable for separating CO2 from gas streams without the need to use aqueous solutions, which is currently one of the crucial technical problems of the emerging solutions. IliCO2Sep provides a solution for capturing CO2 from point sources directly on-site (e.g., industrial waste pipes), facilitating biogas/biofuel production and subsequent environmental decarbonization. The goal is to develop and optimize hydrophobic ionic liquids (ILs) and use them as green solvents for CO2 uptake, increasing the effectiveness of capture. The project involves the optimization of the formulation of ILs and the study on impurity-dependent adsorption efficiency, aging, and simulations with pre-industrial scale trials
