Pilot plant for recycling plastic lab waste is a UK first
Envirotec Magazine
SEPTEMBER 15, 2023
The pilot plant is situated in a repurposed greenhouse on the University of Bath campus (image credit: LabCycle). A pilot plant on the University of Bath campus is said to be able to recycle up to 60% of plastic lab waste, to make back into new lab consumables. The start-up firm behind it, LabCycle , hopes the technology could be scaled up in the future to recycle waste from healthcare, research and commercial labs that is currently incinerated or sent to landfill.

Electrofuels Are the Future: The Driving Force to Decarbonizing Heavy Transport
Speaker: Ayesha Choudhury - Senior Vice President, Head of Capital Markets at Infinium
With the first wave of the energy transition, renewable energy sources (such as solar and wind) have begun replacing coal power generation. However, some sectors are lagging behind and struggling to decarbonize more than others, including large-scale transportation like commercial aviation, shipping, and rail transit. Electrofuels (aka eFuels) are the next generation of solutions to help the hardest-to-abate sectors pivot from their reliance on fossil fuels.
