Our cutting edge technology and team of experts mean we are ideally placed to find solutions to the many challenges within the plastic environment including stable management and innovation. Here, you will see a few examples of our recent work in this important industry to drive a cleaner, and more sustainable future for the next generation.
The vast majority of recycling sorting facilities use Near Infra-red (NIR) scanning technology, to identify and separate plastic from household waste into its different polymers. Any plastics that contain carbon black pigment (e.g. black, brown, dark green, dark blue colours) are not identifiable, as the carbon black absorbs the infra-red waves and inhibits them from reflecting back to the sensor. We have developed a solution to this major challenge in the handling of plastics. We had already proven the concept of developing NIR detectable pigment systems but now we are seeking to take this project to the next level. Find out more here: Luxus - Plastic Recycling

The Odour Accelerator project aims to upscale validated prototypes of processing technology to provide a cost-effective method for identifying odour and deodourising recycled polymers, which can then be used in the manufacture of low odour, high value products. The technological concept was developed through a previous project funded by Innovate UK, which we are now working to upscale from our laboratory prototype to our compounding facility to allow full scale production of deodourised recycled polymer compounds.
