Campden BRI calls for joint bidders

Campden BRI is calling for companies to join its group bid for a share of a £4 million Innovate UK fund to reduce the harm that plastics do to our environment.

The food and drink research company wants to hear from retailers, manufacturers of food and packaging materials who are interested in joining the group. An initial meeting of interested parties will be held mid July.

Campden BRI says it as a very successful track record of submitting successful bids to Innovate UK and other funding bodies.

Innovate UK is investing via its Plastics innovation: towards zero waste funding competition to reduce the harm that plastics do to our environment and increase productivity and growth of the UK economy.

The Innovate UK call closes on 8 August 2018.
