The TRANSSition project will deliver scientific and engineering innovation to transform a bioprocess from batch to continuous production at demonstration scale. Fiberight has successfully developed a batch enzyme hydrolysis process that converts mixed paper and card waste into industrial sugars. The waste paper/card used as the feedstock is recovered from...

To develop and optimise new monitoring methods to track material movements and ensure maximum value is achieved from material at Fiberight's recycling plant.

The 'Uncaptured Unrecycled Plastics (UP)' project will establish and operate a commercial-scale demonstration facility for the recovery, sorting and recycling of post-consumer plastic packaging from mixed waste streams. The focus is on the themes of (i) sustainable solutions for films and flexibles; and (ii) solutions for problematic plastic packaging. Mi...

Plastics and plastic waste have become a major concern for our society. Since the BBC's Blue Planet programme, the public, media, celebrities, governments, NGOs and businesses have all turned the spotlight on to what happens to the plastics we all use in our daily lives. Despite these high levels of concern UK recycling levels for plastics remain low over...

Covid-19 has impacted many sectors; one such sector is the waste management and recycling industry. The amount of waste generated by households in the 'first wave' of the pandemic has increased significantly, whilst the collection of recyclables has been suspended by many local authorities. The current waste management and recycling sector struggles to ef...

Covid-19 has impacted many sectors; one such sector is the waste management and recycling industry. The sector is facing many challenges; increasing levels of waste generated by households during the pandemic and disruption to waste and recycling collection services, against a background of stagnant recycling rates, increased public and regulatory pressur...

"Current sorting and recycling processes generate ~15% waste or 'reject' materials which have traditionally been uneconomic to recycle; these wastes are non-target materials that are typically landfilled or incinerated, 'wasting' potentially valuable materials and resources. This project will develop a solution for these waste materials, enabling them to ...

This project will demonstrate the use of sugars produced from residual waste (MSW) in the manufacture of thermoset resins. Fiberight Ltd and Knauf Insulation will collaborate, with academic expertise from the University of Leeds and Aberystwyth University, to undertake pilot and demonstration scale manufacturing trials of thermoset resins for insulation p...

This highly collaborative UK-India academia-industry project aims to translate into an India context existing technology for converting the biological fraction of mixed solid waste into non-food sugar that can be used in a wide variety of sustainable and biogeradable products such as binders in the construction industry, bioplastics, fermentation and phar...

The project aims to develop a process for manufacturing high grade lactic acid, which is a chemical used in many industrial sectors. Currently lactic acid is very costly to produce, primarily due to the cost of the food grade sugar and energy used, resulting in low sales margins. There is an opportunity to replace this source of sugar with a waste-derived...

Fiberight Ltd and Knauf Insulation will work together to demonstrate the use of sugars produced from residual waste in the manufacture of thermoset resins. Fiberight has created a circular economy solution to generate value-added products from residual waste, by thermo-mechanically treating and washing the waste and then treating the recovered cellulose w...
