Waste Management and Recycling

Supporting your Waste Management and Recycling business

Research and Development in Waste Management and Recycling

Typical Qualifying R&D Activities

Innovating new or improved recycling processes to handle various types of waste materials more efficiently. This includes developing technologies for sorting, processing, and reclaiming materials such as plastics, metals, and electronics to increase the yield and purity of recycled outputs.

Developing and implementing new methods for the efficient collection and sorting of waste materials. Projects can involve creating automated sorting systems, enhancing material recovery facilities (MRFs), or developing new techniques for segregating mixed waste streams.

Researching and creating new materials that are biodegradable or more sustainable to reduce waste and environmental impact. This includes developing alternatives to traditional plastics, such as bioplastics or other eco-friendly materials that can be easily recycled or decomposed.

Developing technologies that convert waste materials into energy or fuel. Projects may include research into anaerobic digestion, gasification, or pyrolysis processes to produce renewable energy from organic or mixed waste streams.

Innovating new or improved methods for treating waste to reduce its environmental impact or to recover valuable resources. This includes developing chemical, biological, or thermal treatments to neutralize hazardous waste or to extract useful by-products.

Creating intelligent systems and software for managing waste collection, processing, and recycling. Projects can involve developing IoT-enabled sensors for waste bins, optimizing collection routes, or using data analytics to enhance waste management efficiency.

Researching and implementing strategies to support the circular economy by designing products and systems that minimize waste and maximize resource reuse. This can include developing take-back schemes, remanufacturing processes, or upcycling methods.

Innovating chemical recycling processes that break down plastics and other materials into their basic components to be reused in manufacturing. This includes developing depolymerization, solvolysis, or enzymatic recycling techniques.

Researching methods to minimize waste generated during manufacturing or production processes. Projects may include optimizing material usage, developing processes to recycle production waste internally, or creating systems to recover and reuse waste heat or emissions.

Innovating processes for the recycling of Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE). This includes developing new methods for disassembling, sorting, and reclaiming valuable materials from electronic waste.
