The following is a list of key R&D projects that ***** has delivered over the last five years in the UK for various project partners.

 Development of a Food grade PET Recycling Process (WRAP, 2005)
 Large Scale Demonstration of Viability of Recycled PET (rPET) in Retail Packaging (WRAP, 2005)
 Reduction in Household Waste originating from Beverage Packaging Waste (WRAP, 2006)
 Large Scale Demonstration trial of recycled HDPE into Milk Bottles (WRAP, 2006)
 Demonstration Trials for Using Post-Consumer Tyres as: Sewer Pipe Sealing System (WRAP, 2007)
 Development of light weight compostable packaging for Supermarkets (WRAP, 2007)
 Further develop and commercialise the CreaSolv process for WEEE plastics (WRAP, 2007)
 Light weighting of PET bottles (WRAP, 2007)
 Household Mixed Plastic Packaging Sorting Project (WRAP, *****)
 Feasibility of Mixed Plastics Recycling Plants for UK (WRAP, 2008)
 Bio-based Light-weight Trays (3 year DTI/TSB project *****)
 Commercial Scale Mixed Plastics Recycling Trials (WRAP, 2009)
 Paper Plastic Composite Recycling (Fortune 500 Co, *****)
 Mixed Plastics R&D: Development of Removable Colour Systems (WRAP, *****)
 Mixed Plastics R&D: Development of Detectable Black Plastics (WRAP, *****)
 rPET categorisation for the UK PET Bottle Supply Chain (WRAP, *****)
 Development of Recycling Process for Food Grade PP (WRAP, *****).
 Development of *****% recycled content PET bottles for water applications.

In these projects, we have undertaken the following tasks:

 Worked with the full supply chain of organisations involved in the selection, design, specification, manufacture and recycling of packaging.
 Designed and/or adapted complete recycling processes that include the sorting and processing of wastes into single or complementary streams that can then be channelled into high value applications. This has resulted in products that incorporate the highest technical levels of recycled content in the market areas of plastics food packaging, building materials, logistics products, films and pipes.
 Provided market intelligence studies
 Conducted feasibility studies for businesses that have contemplated entering the recycling sector as a means of either capturing materials at low cost for reuse in manufacturing operations or as a means of adding value to the waste stream by refining or processing waste to allow it to be used as a substitute for virgin resins. This has included the development of an integrated business, marketing, and technology and manufacturing strategy.
 Defined the availability of waste materials and the market opportunities for the recycled materials.
