The “Be Tire Smart” campaign of the Canadian government and The Rubber Association of Canada strongly encourages the four R (reduce, reuse, recycle, and recover) principles to deal with the scrap tire problem in Canada. The constantly developing automotive industry and the growing number of vehicles generate massive tire demand while the management and recycling […]

The dye and pigment industry is identified as one of the biggest pollutive and toxic industries. For instance, the textile dye industry is the second largest water polluter, producing 20% of the world’s wastewater using 800,000 tones of synthetic dyes annually. Many of the dyes and chemicals used have been highlighted as causing irretrievable damage […]

The proposed multifunctional platform of bioplastics demonstrates an attractive alternative to food packaging, improving the sustainability of plastics within the food sector, reducing our dependence on fossil-based polymers. The optimized biopolymers meet the expectations of safety and other benefits of plastics for both, the consumers and retailers. Our proposed formulations can handle higher temperatures for […]

As part of the circular-economy, agriculture and plant production are developing sustainable means by which to produce healthy and nutritious crops, while using environmentally responsible products and protocols. INTAG Bio has developed a dynamic bioreactor system that allows earthworms to mineralize fish and bovine waste materials into useful biofertilizers and plant biostimulants. This project will […]

Development of a scalable, flow-through membrane-based processing platform for producing enriched fractions of bioactives from marine by-product extracts generated by bacterial fermentation. The proposed technology uses the conventional membrane filtration approach using pressure in tandem with applied voltage for increasing the value and application of the sustainably sourced, bioprocessed crude fish by-product protein extracts. Peptide […]

The intern will demonstrate the automated real time pathogen detection unit, Kraken, in close to field conditions. The unit will be installed in a controlled environment in order to develop and validate the control system operations of the unit. The unit will be assembled, installed, electrically connected and attached to the fluid source that can […]
