Contribution: Industrial Research Assistance Program – Youth Employment Program

Freshr Sustainable Technologies Inc.

$30,000.00

Lab Technician (Chemist)

EF 2023-24 · 2023-05-22

Résumé
The firm has achieved a minimum viable product (MVP) for the Actipack sheet in a batch process in the laboratory. They also scaled from producing small 2.5 x 2.5 cm samples to large sheets of 20 x 30 cm. The next challenge is scaling up the active film production to a semi-automated continuous in-line process that will allow them to produce large quantities of film in a roll format. This step is critical to reach a commercially-viable product. The lab technician (Chemist) will work with the existing team of scientists and engineers to: 1) optimize antibacterial formulation to reduce overall cost 2) adapt all chemical reactions for large scale in-line production 3) explore new chemistries to accelerate/simplify existing chemical processes

Description (French)
L’entreprise a mis au point un produit minimum viable (PMV) pour la feuille Actipack dans le cadre d’un processus par lots en laboratoire. Elle est également passée de la production de petits échantillons de 2,5 x 2,5 cm à celle de grandes feuilles de 20 x 30 cm. Le prochain défi consiste à faire passer la production de film actif à un processus continu semi-automatisé en ligne qui permettra de produire de grandes quantités de film en rouleau. Cette étape est essentielle pour parvenir à un produit commercialement viable. Le technicien de laboratoire (chimiste) travaillera avec l’équipe existante de scientifiques et d’ingénieurs pour : 1) optimiser la formulation antibactérienne pour réduire le coût global 2) adapter toutes les réactions chimiques pour une production en ligne à grande échelle 3) explorer de nouvelles chimies pour accélérer/simplifier les processus chimiques existants.
Expected Results
The purpose of IRAP’s Youth Employment Program is to assist in increasing the supply of highly qualified people, promoting the benefits of advanced studies, demonstrating federal leadership by investing in the skills required to meet the needs of the knowledge economy and facilitating the transition of highly skilled young people to a rapidly changing labour market.
