Ecosurety announces Exploration Fund winners

10th February 2021

Ecosurety has announced the first round recipients of the Exploration Fund. The Ecosurety Exploration Fund invests £1 million in projects that aim to reduce environmental impact of packaging, batteries or WEEE through innovation or research.

Reuse NetworkImpact RecylingImpact Solutions and London Waste and Recycling Board share a £500k boost to its UK projects in the first round of the fund.

Skylark is proud to have partnered with the fund to create four films promoting its winners. We travelled to Scotland, London and Newcastle to meet the innovators behind the projects. This is just one step closer to moving our society to a more greener, sustainable future.

Fit for reuse, Reuse Network

The Fit for reuse project will help tackle the growing mountain of old or unused electricals being recycled or landfilled. And this provides more high quality, repaired electrical goods to the people that really need them.

Led by the Reuse Network, this project is set to move significantly more EEE up the waste hierarchy.

BOSS 2D, Impact Recycling

Led by Impact Recycling, the BOSS 2D project is building on proven innovation used to sort rigid plastics. In doing so, it vastly improves the recycling of flexible plastic film.

If plastic film can be accurately and efficiently sorted into uncontaminated, material-specific waste streams, they can be recycled instead of incinerated.

BOSS 2D will enable that to happen for the first time.

Maximising recycling from purpose-built flats

The Maximising recycling from purpose-built flats project is working to address an age-old problem. How to increase capture and quality of recyclable materials from households that don’t have standard kerbside collections?

Led by the London Waste and Recycling Board, this project will trial new interventions and infrastructure.

CellMine, Impact Solutions

Lithium-ion battery technology is likely to be the keystone in moving our society to a greener, more sustainable future. But without effective recycling technology in place, we are fast approaching a significant problem. This is due to the scarcity of raw materials and destructive mining techniques.

Led by Impact Solutions, CellMine could prove to be the Holy Grail solution.

Congrats to the first round of Exploration Fund Winners! Find out more about the Ecosurety Exploration Fund.
