ForTex
|
|
In the textile industry there is a demand for cellulose-based alternative to cotton fibers. This is because cotton growing and has several disadvantages in terms of sustainability, and is unable to meet the growing demand. The goal of Fortex is to manufacture textile fibers from Swedish forest products in a eco- and cost-effective manner. The idea is to make use of the facilities and equipment available in today's pulp mills and to integrate this with facilities for fiber spinning. The project started in 2012 and includes Södra Cell, Kiram AB, H & M and Ikea, Innventia, SP (which coordinates) and SwereaIVF.

Tabre
|
|
TABRE, New techniques for abrasion resistance of printed packaging surfaces, is a two-year project to develop methods that can predict what might happen with the surface when the package is subject to strain during transport, and to get a consistent terminology and a form of injury atlas. The project is led by Innventia and funded by EUREKA. The project involves companies from large parts of the whole chain from materials to the consumer.

Demonstrators
|
|
Within the framework of the Demonstrator project, Innventia’s researchers, together with designer Anna Glansén, interpreted different expressions new materials can adopt.For example, a cellulose composite that shows properties from soft, fluffy and opaque to semi-strong, rigid and translucent. The project developed five demonstrators that show our different skills in materials research and packaging development. The project was funded by RISE.

Trees4Future
|
|
”Designing Trees for the Future”, Trees4Future, is an European Research Infrastructure project that aims to integrate, develop and improve major forest genetics and forestry research infrastructures. It will integrate sources of information and expertise and provide the wider European forestry research community with access to a wide spectrum of infrastructures. Innventia will develop new measurement methods for wood properties based on our SilviScaninstrument and on NIR imaging of wood surfaces. We will also offer free-of-charge measurements on SilviScan within the Transnational Access Programme

POLYNOL
|
|
POLYNOL - Integrated Production of Polymers and Ethanol from Forest and Sugar Cane Industries. POLYNOL - The project started in November 2012, financed by Vinnova (Swedish Governmental Agency for Innovation Systems) and businesses in the forestry and chemical industries. The goal is to build knowledge and business opportunities around the production of "second generation" biofuels and biochemicals from sugars, from raw materials that do not compete with food production. The main project is a collaboration between Swedish and Brazilian stakeholders and is expected to begin in the second quarter of 2013.

Mekmat
|
|
Within the Mekmat project Innventia will work to commercialise mechano active food packaging materials. The project aims to concretely define and specify a food segment and a product and then integrate the mekano acktive functionality in the packaging so that a new prototype can be industrially producible.

VIPP flexo
|
|
The goal is to create a better understanding of the printing quality and how the interaction between substrate color and the printing press (flexo) affects the quality. The focus will be on the substrate and to identify the properties that have the greatest impact on the printing quality of flexo printing on coated liquid packaging board.
