Circular Economy for Pallets
The Atlas TEC Pallets in this project will deliver a best-in-class logistics solution, with pallets made from 100% recycled polymer materials, managed within an entirely circular and closed-loop automated repair and remanufacturing system that is tracked/traced and serviced within an advanced global data tracking network. The data collected and pooled from the product will greatly reduce damage and stock losses throughout the supply chain and drive continual improvement.

Higher Value From Agricultural Waste
Sustinent has identified a unique opportunity to manufacture gourmet mushroom farming inputs for mushrooms growers. They have demonstrated that Oyster Mushrooms can be cultivated on artificial Gourmet Mushroom Growbags comprised of sugarcane fibre that has been inoculated with P. ostreatus fungus under aseptic conditions.These Growbags will produce Oyster Mushrooms a few weeks after delivery to local mushroom growers. Under this unique circular economy model, growers will return the used fibre substrate which can then be processed for sale as a ruminant feed commodity on a small scale with existing facilities.

Designer Hardwood from Wood Residue
At the heart of the 3RT technology is a patented process using a water-based, formaldehyde-free “Nano-glue” that biomimics the structure of a natural tree in just hours. It does not use the traditional resins such as formaldehydes or isocyanates used in todays engineered wood products and our products are therefore 100% safe and recyclable.

Boosting Sovereign Capabilities
Australia has a shortage of sovereign capability in engineering for land-based military vehicles with respect to powertrain development.Items will be developed and manufactured in Australia and complement the Cummins engine imported from Cummins USA. By delivering this engineering program, Premcar will develop sovereign engineering and manufacturing capabilities to support land based military vehicle development and production in Australia.

Plant Based Meats - Harvest B
The plant-based meat category is expected to 10x over the next decade with explosive growth.  However, the proteins used as key ingredients in this category today are currently all imported to Australia. The global supply is constrained with increasing lead times, cost and lack of innovation for this rapidly changing category.  This poses a risk for the continued growth of Australian food brands and manufacturers in plant-based meats.To address this growing category opportunity, a local supply chain needs to be developed in Australia that integrates both the R&D and manufacturing capability required to produce novel ingredients domestically.See https://www.amgc.org.au/project/manufacture-and-commercialisation-of-plant-based-protein-ingred

The Big Catch
Unlike other sports or recreational activities, it is currently impossible for anglers to simultaneously record themselves and their game (the fish) with self-footage of their sporting experience. See what you've been missing with Siren, the first ever dual facing camera specifically designed for the fishing community. https://www.amgc.org.au/project/manufacture-of-dual-lens-fishing-camera/
