General information
- Short Summary
- A UK-based SME focused on bio-based industrial materials is seeking partnerships to advance the implementation of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Natural Language Processing (NLP) for a comprehensive bio-based material database. Specifically, we are interested in AI solutions for data acquisition, cleansing, and standardization, as well as leveraging NLP to streamline database searches and facilitate material recommendations across various fields within the product design and manufacturing sect
- Full Description
-
A UK company has developed a pioneering database to enable and expand the use of bio-based, sustainable materials in manufacturing industries.
It serves product design and engineering teams, procurement experts, sustainability executives, and business leaders looking for the material data needed to incorporate bio-based materials into products. It also provides bio-material producers with access to new markets.
The UK company offers access to detailed bio-based material specifications and related meta-data, expanding material choices. It connects producers with the material resources needed to create sustainable products.
The UK company closes gaps in the manufacturing with sustainable materials ecosystem by connecting material producers and users. It facilitates the adoption of bio-materials.
To expedite the integration of sustainable, bio-based materials into product manufacturing, an innovative company in the United Kingdom has is developing a comprehensive database of essential metrics and associated metadata for these materials. This database caters to a wide spectrum of professionals, including product design teams, production engineers, procurement specialists, sustainability executives, and business leaders engaged in the production of goods utilising bio-based materials.
The database furnishes critical material data and metrics, serving as a vital resource for informed decision-making throughout the product design, procurement, engineering, and manufacturing phases. Additionally, the metadata included in the database equips users with the requisite information to meet regulatory obligations, such as Environmental Product Declarations (EPD), Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) criteria, and Lifecycle Analysis (LCA). Moreover, this valuable information supports manufacturers in adhering to the principles of a circular economy. - Advantages and Innovations
-
This is currently the only project collecting and organising comprehensive, specifically bio-based material data and metadata globally, and making it available in a structured, searchable form.
By making material data available to design, production and reporting, the service accelerates the adoption of bio-based materials. - Stage of Development
