Composite materials are widely used across aerospace, automotive, wind energy, defence and industrial sectors, yet the UK currently lacks capability to recover fibres or resin feedstocks from end‑of‑life composite waste. Most composite waste is landfilled, exported or downcycled, while UK manufacturers depend heavily on imported virgin fibres and monomer ...

To demonstrate the capacity of novel pressolysis based technologies to be utilised for the of recycling of the world's most abundant and complex waste garments, into valuable synthetic and bio-based feedstocks, for return to a circular economy.

Process monitoring of the DeeCom polymer degradation and filter cleaning system can be challenging. This is due to the high pressure and temperature steam environment in which this cleaning process occurs. As a result, polymer contaminated filters are often overprocessed, to ensure that all possible polymer has been removed. This directly increases the ca...

Significant development effort has been invested in the reduction/elimination of tailpipe emissions, light-weighting and the general improvement and on-shoring of battery technology, bringing huge gains and new knowledge for car manufacturers and their suppliers. However, the industry must now look toward a NetZero future (manufactured goods and associate...

Composite materials have been used for decades and have found their way into almost every industrial sector, mainly due to their outstanding material properties and lightweight benefits. Today, 2.5 million tonnes of composite material are used globally in the renewable energy sector. It is estimated that there are 12-15 tonnes of glass fibre reinforced pl...

By 2041 the ageing population is set to double in volume which also means increase in the resulting waste. Currently our estimated CO2 emissions for incontinence waste (4 tonnes per week) based on our current waste volumes is 95,000kg CO2 pa. Our current waste transport emissions are 5,000-7,000 kg CO2 pa. Recycling and recovering would deliver a signific...

Public description We plan to reduce and reuse the waste from fast fashion sales Recycling and recovering would deliver a significant reduction in CO2 and generate a valuable new revenue stream reducing the reliance on our planet's raw materials. The innovation aims to reduce and recover the volume of waste going to landfill and incineration, whilst reduc...

To develop and embed expertise to identify and exploit new applications of the superheated steam process which will allow entry to new markets for commercial and environmental benefits.
