University of St Andrews
A research collaboration focused on mycoremediation and activated charcoal, supporting the development and assessment of environmental treatment approaches.
Technology
Proven equipment. Purposeful integration.
We select technology around the feedstock, intended outputs and site requirements, supported by defined technical validation.
Thermal conversion
Plastic pyrolysis and recovered hydrocarbon feedstock.
Our thermal pathway focuses on selected difficult plastic streams. The intended output is a recovered hydrocarbon liquid for downstream industrial processing.
Material acceptance, process performance and product use depend on feedstock composition, equipment configuration, testing and regulatory classification. Downstream specifications are part of project development from the outset.
Material recovery
Keep suitable polymers in material loops.
Sorting and recovery routes are considered alongside thermal conversion. PET and other suitable materials can be separated where established circular markets offer an appropriate route.
The objective is a practical combination of pathways for each facility.
Research & development
Explore what comes next.
Defined research programmes investigate fungi, mycelium, engineered carbon materials and environmental remediation, including potential PFAS-related applications.
These are development opportunities. They are not presented as established capabilities or assumed outcomes of the first facility.
Discuss a technical collaborationResearch partnerships
Specialist collaboration with a defined purpose.
IBioIC feasibility support
A £40,000 Feasibility Fund project award supports defined research work. Feasibility funding advances testing and development; it does not establish commercial treatment performance.
Validation
Technical work with a clear question.
Define the scope
Set measurable questions, responsibilities and test requirements.
Collect evidence
Use appropriate testing and independent expertise where needed.
Connect to the market
Assess environmental performance alongside output specifications and commercial use.
