Business Background
At P&G, the company recently announced their ambition to achieve net zero greenhouse gas emissions across the supply chain and operations by 2040, from raw material to retailer.
Business Challenge:
Across our global operations, P&G is making intentional choices to reduce the footprint of our suppliers, buyers, and manufacturing sites. This includes sourcing sustainable materials and exploring new business models to drive circular solutions. The end goal is turning our manufacturing sites waste into raw materials or products.
Relevant Areas/Spaces may include (but not restricted to):
• Systems, processes, technologies, devices to convert waste into usable raw materials or products.
• Materials of interest or value out of waste that can help in improving our environmental footprint.
Areas Out of Scope
Incineration of wastes unless the transformation is carbon neutral/positive.
Preferences:
-Beneficial conversion, reuse or recycling of P&G obsolete or waste streams to usable materials or products
-Materials can be in the form of liquids, liquids within plastic or cartons, bulk obsolete product streams, diluted product or wastewater streams from routine manufacturing equipment cleaning. Packaging wastes from manufacturing containing products, obsolete products or non-conform products or associated waste streams
-Some of the above streams may require sorting, segregation, separation or treatment to enable reuse. Technologies or devices resulting in reduction of manpower or simplification of process steps are considered solutions
-Incineration is not preferred unless the material becomes essential fuels to support Waste-to-Energy processes
-Open to new approaches or ideas that are not specified above
To apply, please submit a summary of a solution, approach, and/or technologies.
Please indicate how you would propose pilot testing your solution. P&G looks forward to partnering with you. All ideas and submissions will be fully reviewed.
Please note that only non-confidential information describing the business & services model, current use, and ideas protected with IP can be accepted for review.
