Innovate UK (UKRI) and the Knowledge Transfer Network are hosting a briefing event for the first two competitions of the Smart Sustainable Plastics Packaging Challenge:
- Demonstrator Round 1
- Feasibility Studies for Demonstrators
As part of the Clean Growth Grand Challenge within the Government’s Industrial Strategy, a £60m Smart Sustainable Plastic Packaging Challenge was announced in Summer 2019 which is expected to be matched by funding of up to £149 million from industry.
The challenge will deliver strategic leadership and a co-ordinated programme of research and innovation for the design, production, supply, recovery and recycling of plastic packaging across the entire value chain.Innovate UK, part of UK Research and Innovation, will invest up to £36 million from the Smart Sustainable Plastic Packaging Programme to fund late-stage demonstrator projects for solutions to create a more circular economy for plastic packaging. Projects must show how they will deliver a more circular plastics packaging supply chain and deliver the targets of the UK Plastics Pact, projects should also include significant industry investment.
This funding will be divided between three rounds, this briefing is for Round 1 which will invest up to £12 million. In addition, Innovate UK will invest up to £750,000 in feasibility studies to develop proposals for the later rounds.
Demonstrators are welcome that trial smart and sustainable packaging innovation across 4 areas at scale:
- Materials

SPLC 2019 Summit: Purchasing for Zero Waste: 3 Case Studies from Higher Educa...SPLCouncil
Slides from Sapna Thottathil, Associate Director of Sustainability, Office of the President, University of California, Office of the President, presented at the Sustainable Purchasing Leadership Council’s 2019 Summit in Portland, OR.
CEFLEX’s vision is for all flexible packaging to be collected and made available for sorting and recycling - with at least 80% entering a recycling process and these materials returned to the economy. Over 140 companies, associations and organisations are collaborating to make this happen.
Ensuring all flexible packaging is designed so after use it can be collected, sorted and recycled - with sustainable markets for the recycled materials - is a key part of achieving this vision. A first edition of 'Designing for a Circular Economy Guidelines' will be launched in early 2020 to help achieve this.
Follow our Mission Circular at www.ceflex.eu, LinkedIn and twitter @MissionCircular.
In this 2015 presentation, the focus is placed firmly on the concept of product stewardship and the advantages to organisations who pursue product stewardship certification.

While climate change is a natural phenomenon, human activities, particularly since the Industrial Revolution, have accelerated its pace and intensity
"Understanding the Carbon Cycle: Processes, Human Impacts, and Strategies for...MMariSelvam4
The carbon cycle is a critical component of Earth's environmental system, governing the movement and transformation of carbon through various reservoirs, including the atmosphere, oceans, soil, and living organisms. This complex cycle involves several key processes such as photosynthesis, respiration, decomposition, and carbon sequestration, each contributing to the regulation of carbon levels on the planet.
Human activities, particularly fossil fuel combustion and deforestation, have significantly altered the natural carbon cycle, leading to increased atmospheric carbon dioxide concentrations and driving climate change. Understanding the intricacies of the carbon cycle is essential for assessing the impacts of these changes and developing effective mitigation strategies.
By studying the carbon cycle, scientists can identify carbon sources and sinks, measure carbon fluxes, and predict future trends. This knowledge is crucial for crafting policies aimed at reducing carbon emissions, enhancing carbon storage, and promoting sustainable practices. The carbon cycle's interplay with climate systems, ecosystems, and human activities underscores its importance in maintaining a stable and healthy planet.
In-depth exploration of the carbon cycle reveals the delicate balance required to sustain life and the urgent need to address anthropogenic influences. Through research, education, and policy, we can work towards restoring equilibrium in the carbon cycle and ensuring a sustainable future for generations to come.

UNDERSTANDING WHAT GREEN WASHING IS!.pdfJulietMogola
Many companies today use green washing to lure the public into thinking they are conserving the environment but in real sense they are doing more harm. There have been such several cases from very big companies here in Kenya and also globally. This ranges from various sectors from manufacturing and goes to consumer products. Educating people on greenwashing will enable people to make better choices based on their analysis and not on what they see on marketing sites.

• collection
• sorting and separation
• mechanical recycling
• chemical recycling
• anaerobic digestion or composting
of compostable packaging
21. Business Model innovation
For example:
• reusable packaging systems such as
refill
• zero packaging business models and
systems
• consumer or business behavioural
change
22. Out of Scope
We are not funding projects which:
• do not have plastic packaging as the primary focus
• encourage or facilitate the export of plastic packaging while still classified
as a waste
• use or manufacture either a liquid fuel or a solid fuel, such as refuse-
derived fuel or solid-recovered fuel, as the primary product
See https://apply-for-innovation-funding.service.gov.uk/competition/search
for other funding sources.
23. Demonstrator Round 1 & Proposals
Round 1
• Up to £12 million
• 25% of eligible project cost
• £2M to £48M – unless agreed
• Up to 3 years
• Must be collaborative
• Business-led & involve at least
one SME
• experimental development
Proposals
• Up to £700,000
• Standard funding model

24. Experimental Development
• Experimental development may comprise prototyping, demonstrating, piloting, testing and
validation of new or improved products, processes or services in environments representative of
real-life operating conditions.
• This may include the development of a commercially usable prototype or pilot which is not
necessarily the final commercial product, and which is too expensive to produce for it to be used
only for demonstration and validation purposes.
• Experimental development does not include routine or periodic changes made to existing
products, production lines, manufacturing processes, services and other operations in progress,
even if those changes may represent improvements.
25. Q3 – System Change
Question 3. System change and UK Plastics Pact targets
We will score this question out of 15.
Taking a systems perspective, explain how this project delivers systemic changes towards delivery
of UK Plastics Pact targets relative to the current state of the art. Before answering, read the
supporting information for definitions of systems perspective, lifecycle approach and environment
impacts.
Describe or explain:
• the elements of the supply chain to be considered, which form the system boundaries of your
project
• the ways your project would deliver a change in the system, for example a change in consumer
behaviour, an increase in recycling rate or reduction in the use of virgin plastic
• how this project would contribute to delivering against one or more of the 4 targets adopted by
the UK Plastics Pact if it is delivered at scale.
26. Q4 Environmental Impact
Question 4. Environmental benefits
We will score this question out of 15.
Taking a systems perspective explain how your project will change the environmental impact
(positive or negative) of the component or components of the plastic packaging system your project
is intended to replace.
Are there any trade-offs in terms of environmental benefits and impacts?
You must take a lifecycle approach and consider any additives and other chemicals (such as glues
or inks) and/or materials that are used in the manufacture of a finished product, as well as process
wastes.
Consider the following areas in your answer:
• how your project will prevent or reduce plastic packaging escaping into the environment, such as
by increasing collection rates
• the direct and indirect carbon footprint impacts of your project compared to the current state of the
art, including both logistics and the production of carbon dioxide by biodegradation if applicable
27. Q4 Environmental Impact - continued
• the likely consequences of human exposure to any plastics your project could release to the
environment
• the likely consequences other species (such as fish, marine mammals or birds) in the natural
environment being exposed to any plastics your project could release to the environment
• other environmental impacts not covered by the above categories
If your material is of biological origin describe the impact on land use (for example, displacement of
food crops).
If a life cycle analysis (LCA) is available, you can submit it as a PDF appendix no larger than 10MB
and up to 4 A4 pages long to support your answer. The font must be legible at 100% zoom.
28. Note from EA
Definition of Waste Service
• The mechanism by which companies can seek the view of the Environment Agency
about whether their waste derived material has achieved end of waste status.
• It’s entirely voluntary, it is pay-to-use and the outcome is a national opinion
applicable across England about whether the material is waste or not.
• Costs and time scales are open ended.
• The company provides a ‘submission’ of evidence via the IsItWaste tool.
• Any Questions?? dowservices@environment-agency.gov.uk
29. Note from EA
Making a good submission
You must ensure your submission includes robust information that:
1. Completes the DoW checklist (see the IsItWaste tool).
2. Provides proper data (e.g. sample data, comparator reports) and evidence.
3. Tells a clear ‘story’ about your waste derived material.
4. Identifies the non-waste material it replaces (the comparator).
5. Satisfies the three limbs of the End of Waste test
I. Distinct and marketable,
II. used in the same way, and with
III. no worse environmental and human heath impact than the non waste it replaces.

Consortium example
60. Why Je-S?
• We use the Research Councils’ Joint Electronic Submission System (Je-S) to collect academic
finances
• The Je-S system automates the collection of Full Economic Costs (FEC) based costs from academic
partners and tells them exactly what numbers should be used in the application form for their costs
• Also to collect project finance details from non-HEIs (e.g. RTOs) that are claiming they are carrying
out academic quality work and want to be funded on an FEC basis
• Using Je-S means that Innovate UK follows standard Research Council guidelines on funding
universities and enables Research Councils to easily co-fund Innovate UK projects
61. • Enter the TSB reference number here
• Enter the TSB Contribution column figures
from your J-eS output document into the
project costs section of the application
• Upload the Je-S with council status form

64. Project cost summary
All organisations can see a
summary of project costs
Ensure the highlighted costs
fits the criteria for this
competition
65. Checking your finances are complete
IFS checks
• all organisations have marked
their finances as complete
• research organisation
participation is no greater than
30% of the total project costs
68. Application assessment
All applications are assessed by independent assessors drawn from industry and academia
What do they look for?
• Clear and concise answers
• The right amount of information
• not too much detail
• no assumptions
• Quantification and justification
• A proposal that presents a viable opportunity for growth, a level of innovation that
necessitates public sector investment and has the right team and approach to be successful
Keep your assessors engaged
and interested in your proposal.
You want them to be fascinated
and excited by your idea!
69. Note on feedback
• The feedback is compiled using the written comments of the independent assessors who review
and assess the applications.
• It is intended to be constructive in nature and to highlight both the strong as well as the weak
areas of your application.
• Please bear in mind that because applications are assessed by a number of assessors, you may
receive information which appears to be conflicting. This may reflect their different interpretations
of the proposal that you submitted.
• It must also be noted that some proposals may appear to have been favourably assessed based
on their comments, in such instances it could be that your proposal simply fell below the funding
threshold, with others achieving a higher merit score overall.
70. Scoring
We review scores and feedback to check assessors are adhering to our guidelines and scoring fairly.
In some cases, where we feel a score is unjust and not supported by feedback, we may remove that
score as an outlier and update the total score for the application.
Please be aware that both low and high outliers may be removed and as a result scores may
increase or decrease.
71. Application assessment
• The score spread shows the difference between the
top and bottom scores
• If score spread is 30 or more we will look to see if an
outlier is apparent
• If there is a 3 or more appear in either the two
columns Count of No Scope or Count of No
Recc’d we review the applications feedback and if
justified, the application will not be eligible for
funding.
72. • The green box = particular assessors scores on an application
• The purple box = set of scores for a particular question
• The red box = at first glance this looks like an outlier
Identifying outliers
74. Interviews - Demonstrator
