WASTE WATER RECOVERY INNOVATE UK TECHNOLOGY STATEGY BOARD 2015 ENGINEERING RESEARCH COUNCIL LONDON JANUARY 14

What a waste - millions of tons of recoverable materials are flushed out to sea everyday. Not only is our throwaway society inefficient, but we're also killing animals by the millions without a care in the world, because it does not affect us directly.

Our delegate traveled from Polegate station on the National Rail network, leaving at 5:50am, coming into London Bridge station in good time. The Underground was then used with two (deserted) changes, reminding him of the movie 'An American Werewolf in London' until Highbury & Islington, when he transferred to the over-ground for Hackney Central. It was just a few minutes walk to the Town Hall. Total travel costs came to around £65, including petrol to get to Polegate station. Inevitably, early morning visits to London attract peak rates. Who'd be a commuter. The trip back was even easier, going directly to Victoria from Highbury, returning to Polegate for around 8:00pm. Attending such events demands a lot of time - and that is why companies and universities in particular, need specialist staff to generate new business. Universities benefit the most from such calls, being 100% funded.

Not exactly your ticket to success, but a helping hand for those who can afford to fund R&D from existing turnover. Newbies will struggle to find finance for risky ventures.

The theme for this event seemed to our delegate to be re-use and capture of materials from waste, where they might otherwise be lost. The objective is to improve overall efficiency of an economy to create a circular business model. We were advised of another IUK call: Building Circular Value Networks to go live in March 2015. Something possibly applicable to and of interest to ourselves and associate stakeholders. Essentially, this is a sustainable practice.

The event attracted a high turnout of well respected members of the waste treatment business. The expertise in waste handling and management should not be underestimated. It is getting higher and higher tech as landfill is discouraged in favour of re-use of materials - and re-use means separation and finding companies who are willing to incorporate recycled materials for new products.

Japan was cited as a very efficient country that recycles near 98% of materials. We were also told that in the coming years there will be three billion new middle class consumers, all wanting wide screens, computers, cars, etc. In short all of the things that create hard to recycle waste, meaning that waste will continue to increase, while landfill is running short. One interesting fact was using road sweepers to recover the platinum in sweepings, expelled from catalytic converters as you drive. Amazing!

We were looking for end uses for plastic that we will recover from the oceans - by way of consortium building and business development. As if that was not enough of a challenge, competitions such as this tend to bring to the fore potential problems. We are thus grateful to all of those who were willing to speak to our candidate and share possible solutions. Our problem is that (at the moment) we know very little about the chemistry of the plastics that we are likely to bring back to land for treatment.

One thing that came through loud and clear is that authorities pay to have waste treated - they are the customers. But who is the authority when it comes to the ocean? That is the problem and that explains why our oceans are becoming so toxic. Nobody is responsible. But there is hope in the form of Packaging Recovery Notes, as mentioned by a well known specialist processor - with thanks.

For anyone interested, Bluebird Marine Systems have a delegate booked to attand the Resource Circular Economy exhibition at the London Excel for the 5th of March 2015. We are also booked to attend the Ocean Business 2015 event in April 2015 and have a delegate in attendance at Seawork in June 2015. It's going to be a busy year. Please email us if you'd like us to visit any of your stands.

A Packaging Recovery Note (PRN) is a type of document that provides evidence that waste packaging material has been recycled into a new product. They form a key part of the Producer Responsibility Obligations (Packaging Waste) Regulations 2007 which covers Great Britain.

Packaging Recovery Notes can be issued by accredited reprocessors when they have recovered and recycled a tonne of packaging material. The accredited reprocessor can sell the Packaging Recovery Note to obligated companies or Compliance Schemes who use the Packaging Recovery Note to prove that a tonne of packaging material has been recycled on their behalf, or their members behalf. We need to know that the UK and other governments around the world will honor such schemes for collectors of ocean waste. There is thus a market for suitable recovered plastics. Though, such trade is unlikely to cover the costs of operating a fleet of robot ships, without top up from the UN, IMO or other ocean monitors. It did occur to us that when plastic that is recovered from the sea goes into products, that such items could then be sold as "Ocean Friendly." Much like "Dolphin Friendly" tuna.

Having listened to questions from the floor, our chap then spoke with Mike Pitts (sustainably lead) to ask about plastic waste from the oceans. We were concerned that we don't own the waste, until we have harvested it and that we have, as yet, not yet cemented relations with potential end users, to be able to say that we have a market for the ocean produce. Mike was surprisingly helpful in explaining that as the collector of the waste, we could be a lead partner, or that a later identified processing partner could take the lead, as the manufacturing partner. In addition, it seems that export potential of the technology is one method of exploitation that is acceptable.

The catering was to an adequate level, such as to keep the delegates in a condition fit to concentrate on the networking in hand. Coffee, tea and fruit juices were on offer with biscuits and for lunch, there was a buffet of sandwiches and meat tasties, etc. Most people were too busy to give much thought to eating, but the food went down well nevertheless. So full marks to IUK, who had explained that their budget was limited - so no caviar or champagne.

The panel of speakers gave extremely interesting talks on a variety of topics. This underscored our earlier observations as to the changing face of the waste business, and also provided the audience with feedback from previous competition winners, and their experience as participants. One speaker advised us to keep a meticulous paper trail for the inevitable audit. This is one aspect of the competition that may put prospective applicants off, where the additional accountancy burden and lost time in dealing with audit detracts from the real value of any grant. We were also warned about university contributors not being so driven to reach product stage and the business seeking assistance.

When the panel were asked about ocean waste, a respondent pointed to Asia as being a major contributor, a fact that is plain from many pictures on the web. That is not to say that other counties are not to blame, of course they are, but some, like in the US at the moment, are trying to keep their rivers and harbors clean, so reducing the gyre build up.

Innovate UK (IUK) and the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC) are to invest up to £4.5m in collaborative R&D projects that seek to increase the recovery of valuable materials from waste streams.

The aim of this competition is to improve processes to increase the value of resources recovered from continuously produced waste. Energy from waste is excluded, as the focus is on maximizing the value of materials.

Proposals must be collaborative and led by a business managing the target waste stream. We expect to fund mainly industrial research projects in which a business partner will generally attract up to 50% public funding for their project costs (60% for SMEs).

IUK expect projects to last up to 24 months and to have total costs of between £300 to £800k.

This is a two-stage competition that opens for applicants on 12 January 2015. The deadline for registration is at noon on 18 February 2015 and the deadline for expressions of interest is at noon on 25 February 2015.

A briefing event and partnering workshop for potential applicants is to be held on 14 January 2015.

* Information: Full details of competition scope and how to apply direct from the funder;
* Networking: Meet potential project applicants and build your collaboration;
* Advice: Tips from previous competitions winners and the KTN on successful applications and projects.

* Potential Innovate UK competition applicants;
* Businesses from the whole product/materials lifecycle: designers,

* Manufacturers, reprocessers, waste management companies, end-users of reprocessed materials;
* Innovators interested in the economic potential of waste as a resource.

The global waste and recycling market is currently worth around $1tr. The waste sector in the UK was valued at over £12bn in 2011, with an annual growth rate of between 3% and 4%.

A material recovery industry has been evolving from a waste management infrastructure that was designed for efficient transport to landfill. Recycling rates are slowing as the limits of this system are reached.

According to WRAP (Waste & Resources Action Programme), only around 22% of the resource flows in the UK are fed back in to the economic cycle, and more than £5bn worth of recovered materials are sent abroad for reprocessing.

Manufacturers need to respond to rising raw material costs, increasing volatility in raw material availability and the environmental impact of raw material acquisition and product disposal. These factors directly affect their viability and profitability. This has led to an increased demand for recycled and recovered resources.

15:00 What makes a good proposal? - Catherine Joce, Circular Economy Lead, KTN

Innovate UK (IUK) have allocated up to £4m to fund collaborative R&D projects that address the technical challenges outlined in the scope.

Successful applicants can attract grant funding towards their eligible project costs. The percentage of costs that they pay varies, depending on the type of research being carried out and the type of organisation involved.

For this competition projects must be collaborative and must be led by a business managing the target waste stream. They should last one-to-two years.

IUK are primarily seeking to fund industrial research with a business partner attracting 50% public funding for their project costs (60% for SMEs). The rate for SMEs is to rise from April 2015, to 70%. This is likely to attract more interest from those contemplating hi-risk ventures. Unfortunately, this event attracts the 60% rate. You may well then want to delay a project and wait for another similar call. There is though no guarantee that there will be another IUK call. See the Enterprise Europe call in March 2015, where the new 70% rate may apply.

IUK expect projects to range in size from £300k to £800k total project costs. They may consider larger projects but applicants should contact them directly to discuss further before making their application. EPSRC will contribute up to £500k, which may be available for parts of projects (work packages) where there is a significant high-quality academic research component, and in particular for those projects that build on, or are complementary to, existing EPSRC research programmes. These include the work of EPSRC Centres for Innovative Manufacturing, and other programmes funded through the EPSRC Manufacturing the Future theme.

Applicants invited to apply for stage 2 of this competition are advised to identify any potential EPSRC fundable work packages in their stage 2 application.

You may have walked on a beach and noticed this kind of waste, and disgusting as it is, not though too much about it. You may also have been reading about a patch of garbage the size of Texas floating in the middle of the Pacific Ocean for years now, dubbed the Great Pacific Garbage Patch, and again not given it much more than passing attention. But, basically, any trash that gets dumped in the water rides the currents to this one spot and joins an ever-increasing flotilla of toxins that is killing marine life and poisoning the oceans. For all the breathless accounts of the mess and its impact on the area’s sealife, no one seemed to have a picture of the buildup. Or rather, governments were happy to play ostrich, because nobody knew how to deal with such an impossible situation.

In order to sate their own curiosity, VBS TV joined the crew of a research vessel studying the trash and sailed out into one of the most remote spots of open water in the world, the North Pacific Gyre, in search of this mythical garbage island. What they discovered once they got there was an ecological disaster beyond any of their expectations and in their own words: "... possibly the single worst thing human beings have done to the planet and ourselves."

"We chartered a trip through the middle of the mess with Capt. Charles Moore of the Oceanographic Research Vessel Alguita. Capt. Moore is credited with discovering the Patch in its present, trash-choked state, and at the time was one of the few people studying the extent and effect of the pollution.

Our voyage into the center of the Gyre took eight days of round-the-clock sailing on a 50-foot catamaran with a crew of six (including VBS's three-man filming team). Personal tensions mounted. Humor got strange. By the time we got to the beginning of the Patch, anticipation and cabin fever had conspired to make our expectations of "Garbage Island" unreasonably high, but what we found still managed to surpass them.

To the naked eye it looked no different from any other part of the ocean, except that every few minutes something really strange would float by. For instance, one time it was a hard hat with Korean writing on it. Another time it was a motorcycle tire. Another time it was a child's life preserver with a cartoonish shark bite taken out of the side. Once it was an enormous telephone-pole-shaped thing that could have easily wrecked our ship if we'd been on a slightly different course.

It would have been some consolation to think that the Garbage Patch was simply the result of careless sailors, but researchers estimate up to 80 percent of the trash originates on land. That not only meant that the shampoo bottle or birthday balloon we scooped up had most likely spent years traveling around the currents of the Gyre before ending up in our path, but that there were countless others in the middle of the same journey. It was a colossal bring-down.

Then we started taking some samples of the water, and that's when we realized things were even worse than we thought."

While the above is quite alarming, what is an international problem, is also a potential resource, in that plastic can be recycled into oil and useful products. Thus, the problem that no country wants to admit liability for, could become an opportunity, provided that the technology is developed to "make it happen." Yes, we are fans of Sir John Harvey-Jones and we have a plan. But we need industrial development partners and seed funding.

The aim of this competition is to develop processes for dealing with continuously produced waste streams to maximise the value of recovered resources.

Proposals should describe how they seek to maximise the value of outputs and, for this reason, those solely seeking to recover energy from waste are out of scope. Projects focused on product-return approaches, such as remanufacture, refurbishment and leasing, are also out of scope.

Potential areas include (but are not limited to): improved collection schemes techniques for identification of materials and parts identification and processing of waste materials at speed real-time monitoring of contaminants recovery of valuable resources from wastewater or factory effluent production of high-value chemicals or materials from agri or bio-waste (excluding via biological processes). Included within the scope of this competition is investigation of new business models.

For proposals exploring new material streams or products from waste, the inclusion of potential customers in the project is encouraged.

Studies within the "Great Recovery" project have shown the value of bringing design expertise into waste facilities. Incorporation of design elements into projects is encouraged in this competition.

Applicants should clearly describe where revenue generation and growth will occur in the UK as a result of the innovation and its exploitation. The benefits of the new approach should be quantified as far as possible, and any assumptions regarding market size and environmental impacts described and justified.

This is a two-stage competition that opens for applicants on 12 January 2015.

Stage 1 – Applicants submit an expression of interest which is assessed.

Stage 2 – We invite selected applicants to submit an application. All applicants must first register via the IUK website by noon 18 February 2015.

The deadline for expressions of interest is noon 25 February 2015.

The second stage deadline for invited applications is noon 15 April 2015.

Applications are assessed on individual merit by an independent panel of experts. IUK may apply a portfolio approach across the themes/areas, subject to applications meeting the required quality threshold.

The Knowledge Transfer Network (KTN) has a collaboration site for the competition where you can find more information and connect with potential partners.

A briefing for potential applicants will be held on 14 January 2015 to highlight the main features of the competition and explain the application process. Applicants are strongly recommended to attend this event.
