This project will provide the technical innovation to restructure large-scale and established supply chains for the purpose of significantly reducing emissions and packaging waste related to the distribution of raw materials, finished products and waste disposal from complex liquid products. The Feasibility project identified types of technical innovations for short, medium and long term implementation that could transform the supply chains of Unilever and ICI Paints and their associated environmental impact. Using an initial array of innovations including consumer driven in-store dispensing interfaces, regional factory miniaturisation and formulation compartmentalisation (capable of multiple product roll out) the project will then explore the possibility of radical product replacement and migration to service-based products with increasing capability to redraw emission and waste paradigms.

This project aims at developing innovative manufacturing equipment for structured liquid products (Home & Personal Care, Foods, Pharmaceutical, Paints, Lubricants) with strongly enhanced resource efficiency benefits. Current manufacturing technologies require products be over-formulated to achieve their performance specifications, and are relatively high in use of energy, with significant footprint. There is a yet unmet need for the introduction of innovative process equipment into the supply chain to address those deficiencies. This project will address that need via the development of a retrofittable mixing technology based on recent discoveries at the "Ultra Mixing and Process Facility" at University of Liverpool. Such a development will offer manufacturers of “structured liquids” products and process equipment opportunities for radical innovation which will strongly enhance competitiveness and resource efficiency (less material, alternative material, better energy efficiency).
