Polymers in Liquid Formulation (PLFs) are essential across various sectors, including food, wastewater treatment, lubricants, and consumer products, contributing a global annual value of $1.27 trillion and produced at a scale of approximately 36 million tonnes per year. Photo-Poly is a ground-breaking project in the UK chemicals industry, aiming to introd...

BioMine, led by CellMine in collaboration with Impact Solutions, and The University of Edinburgh aims to revolutionise lithium-ion battery (LIB) recycling by utilising innovative bio-processing techniques. This initiative addresses the growing demand for lithium and other critical minerals essential for the electric vehicle (EV) market and renewable energ...

Agriculture occupies about 50% of habitable land, facing immense pressure to increase crop yields to feed a growing global population of over 7.8 billion. Climate change and inefficient use of agrochemicals, such as fertilizers, exacerbate these challenges, with less than 1% of applied fertilizers reaching their intended targets. This inefficiency contrib...

The Li-PICK project, led by CellMine in collaboration with Telescope Innovations, Impact Solutions and the University of St. Andrews, aims to redefine lithium-ion battery (LIB) recycling. This initiative is designed to address the growing demand for lithium and other critical minerals essential for the electric vehicle (EV) market and renewable energy sec...

Project A.R.T.I.S.T is a collaboration between Hempel, C-Source Renewables (CSR) Limited, the University of Edinburgh, and Impact Solutions with the aim of reducing the carbon footprint of the paints and coatings industry. The project focuses on using bio-based styrene material in the production of paints and coatings instead of the petrochemically produc...

Synopsis: Project COBRA is a multi-disciplinary program that combines Edinburgh University's world-class capabilities in enzyme engineering and immobilisation with Impact Solutions patented novel mixing device technology enabling a step improvement of industrial processes that use immbolised enzymes. COBRA will develop a novel lab-scale reactor which is 1...

Project P.A.I.N.T.S is a collaboration between Hempel, the University of Edinburgh, and Impact Solutions with the aim of reducing the carbon footprint of the paints and coatings industry. The project focuses on using bio-based styrene material in the production of paints and coatings instead of the petrochemically produced equivalent. Bio-based styrene ha...

ReVentas see plastic waste as a valuable resource that has yet to be fully harnessed until now. Whilst there is a high level of focus on providing recycling solutions for packaging plastics, typically polyethylene(PE), polypropylene(PP) or PET, little to no work is being done to find recycling solutions to the 2 second largest polymer group by volume afte...

Mag-Cure will result in a step-change for the manufacture of electric motors used in Electric Vehicles, by bringing to market a novel adhesive bonding technology allowing the rapid curing of adhesive systems (reducing production cost/time of production/removing bottlenecks), as well as providing a solution for end-of-life/quality control by ensuring the a...

The plastics industry is changing. Although bioplastics controlled less than a 2% share of the plastics industry in 2019, they are expected to grow at a 30% CAGR, accounting for 40% by 2030, making bioplastics a $324 billion-dollar enterprise in just over a decade\[1\]. The main challenge currently faced within the manufacturing of bioplastic parts is the...

With the petrochemical industry and speciality chemical companies like Lubrizol committing to meet net-zero targets, new processes and products are needed to replace critical chemicals in the Global economy. Biotechnology is seen as a burgeoning solutions to this and is a pillar of the UK BEIS strategy with the aim of growing the UK bio-economy £220Bil cu...
