- This paper addresses the previously unmet need of methods for early stage design of new chemical processes/plants. Suitable methods are described and applied to the design of a new waste plastic recycling process that has been built at demonstration scale and has been funded at full scale for one plant in Scotland to be built in 2021. It has also led to a £1.7m Innovate UK grant for Recycling Technologies (Adrian Griffiths) in collaboration with the Universities of Birmingham and Cranfield.
