Smart sustainable plastic packaging projects for recycle week
22 September 2020
UK Research and Innovation (UKRI) is announcing nearly one quarter of a million pounds in funding for projects to address plastic waste and improve the UK’s recycling capabilities during Recycle Week.
The funding is being awarded as part of the Feasibility Studies for Demonstrators competition, a constituent of the Industrial Strategy Challenge Fund Smart Sustainable Plastic Packaging (SSPP) challenge, run on behalf of the UK government.
The projects aim to help the UK tackle the challenge of plastic pollution in the environment through the development of a more sustainable plastic packaging value chain in the UK.
