Case Studies

We have worked with over 200 organisations to strengthen their innovation within a changing landscape for the circularity of plastics. This can be a simple signposting activity, an introduction to a company to form a collaboration, or deep discussion and support to give an innovation project the funds and skills to succeed. We have been the lead collaboration support activity for the Smart Sustainable Plastics Packaging Challenge. Learn more about some of the projects we’ve worked with and helped here.
