General information
- Short Summary
- A Hungarian technology transfer agency is offering its technology, the biodegradable separated tray. It is an innovative and new product made from waste paper. It can be discarded and reused as raw material on the same production line. The structure of the packaging body is small overall, lightweight, but still provides adequate resistance to mechanical stresses and various pressures during transport. The technology owner is looking for technical, R&D, and investment cooperation.
- Full Description
-
The invention offered by the Hungarian technology transfer agency is that the biodegradable, separated tray fully meets the important objective of producing a low-cost product with basic environmental characteristics, but at the same time with much better mechanical and chemical properties than paper and plastic packaging materials at a lower price (resistance to various mechanical impacts, flexibility, temperature resistance, pressure resistance, hygiene, because it does not produce tiny dust particles that contaminate products in the food industry, etc.)
The problem it seeks to solve is the avoidance of hygiene and health issues (no tiny dust particles are produced during use which contaminate dairy products on the filling line), avoidance of deforestation. The main users of biodegradable trays are the food industry: dairies, juice production, fruit production.
The innovative new product can be produced in several countries by selling the license of the patent containing the know-how technology.
In essence, the company is looking for dynamic and results-oriented partners who can help expand the reach of its biodegradable transport tray technology, contributing to its broader mission of promoting sustainability in various industries. The company is primarily looking for licensing partners, as well as potential investments and R&D collaborations with other companies. - Advantages and Innovations
-
The innovative aspect of the product lies in the constructive solution of secondary biodegradable packaging, where the crate body is a light structure, which is consistent enough to provide adequate resistance to mechanical impact, various pressures occurring in transport with sufficient flexibility enabling easy handling. Provide safe keeping, storing and transport of products of food industry packed up in plastic cups of primary packaging. Provides easy insertion and better fitting of packaging itself upon cup bed walls which ensures stable position during transportation, eliminating the possibility of turning over the plastic cups when inserted into the crate body.
The invention has the following advantages, among which the most important are:
-significantly reduces production time,
-significantly less space for stacking,
-easier manipulation with fully filled biodegradable partitioned trays,
- no tiny dust particles are formed during use which contaminate the products of food industry on the filling line
-cheaper packaging
-moister proof, partially waterproof
-ensures stable position of the primary packaging during transportation
The advantages over already known technical solutions with the above mentioned are:
-reduced loss caused by interruptions in production, which usually occur in production of cardboard boxes due to various inaccuracies in manufacturing,
-no scrap in production
The biodegradable partitioned tray weights 105 g, load capacity per product is 8 kg.
According to feasibility studies made for some European countries the profit is up to 50% of the income. The profit mostly depends of the raw material management and market situations.
Social benefits can reflect on the area where the production is taking place by buying up waste paper from the local community collectors.
The environmental benefit is the usage of waste paper in the production and there is no waste because the scrap returns in the process. - Stage of Development

Partner Sought
- Expected Role of a Partner
-
Ideal partners for the company would demonstrate a proven track record in the distribution of sustainable packaging solutions, showcasing expertise in markets where environmental considerations and sustainable practices are significant factors. Understanding the needs and priorities of industries such as food and beverage, retail, and hospitality, where trays play a crucial role in transportation and presentation, is essential.
The company would be delighted to explore potential partnerships encompassing commercial agreements with technical assistance, investment agreements, and research and development cooperation agreements.
The company seeks specialist investors who are not just interested in financial investments, but can provide "smart money". This "smart money" concept allows the business to receive professional support in addition to financial support. - Type and Size of Partner
