- PlarixPlarix is a material made of recycled plastic waste. In the UK alone, over 5 million tons of plastic are consumed each year and less than a quarter of it gets recycled. That means the rest of it ends up in our environment, in landfills and the ocean. Plarix is created from an array of plastic such as bottle tops, CD cases, coat hangers and plant pots….but the best part is that with a little R&D it can be made with any plastic waste, even waste collected from the ocean.

The Recurf project focuses on processing new material combinations from biobased plastics and textile waste into attractive products. By reusing the material a circular product and business model comes into being.

- Leek paperBecause it is possible to make paper from any organic material, leek waste can be used to do so as well. That paper can then be used to wrap vegetables in paper made from the waste streams of their own production. The packaging would also be the perfect medium to explain the story behind organic vegetables.
