Some Good News - CRC-P Grant

At least we can verify one of the recent announcements!!

CRC-P outcomes for round 8 were finally published on the government website yesterday.

Great to see as it legitimises some of the work they have been doing and means that there is at least one ann that there is no doubt as to whether it is ridgy didge.

Waste plastic is a growing problem in Australia and elsewhere in the world. Many plastics are uneconomic to process using conventional physical recycling technology. IGES has developed technology that converts waste contaminated plastic to the feedstock for remanufacturing plastic. This project aims to extend the IGES technology to become the next generation of processing technology that specifically targets the generation of naphtha from mixed and contaminated, post-consumer waste plastic as an optimised feedstock for the virgin plastics manufacturing industry. Successful deployment of this technology will place Australian expertise at the centre of the global industry that manages waste plastic.Start / End Date
