If the market opportunity becomes clear and entry eased, there is an almost unlimited source of non-fossil organic materials from industrial waste streams e.g.food, drink, paper, fabric and agriculture.

There is a huge effort ongoing to find replacement sources for aircraft fuel (SAF).A small amount of this could be diverted to the much more commercially valuable (margin-wise) supply of high purity solvents..Waste recycling within plants is something many manufacturers are looking to increase.

This does not come without quality and technical challenges.Local recycling, which is directly discouraged by some regulations, can increase batch-to-batch cross contamination.

Recycling can concentrate impurities, an issue that requires monitoring and can drive the need for further processing.

The technical issues are primarily around ensuring solvent waste is neither mixed with other solvents nor with other water-based waste streams.This is truly a better, faster, greener agenda.

We’re seeing a need to kickstart things as a result of COVID, but there’s also been a reset of some of the policy, and time to create policy, which is now coming to fruition..Transforming Infrastructure Performance: Roadmap to 2030.

The latest policy refresh has been to Transforming Infrastructure Performance.The first TIP documents came out in 2017 around the suite of Industrial Strategy documents, setting out a vision for how we would start to drive value and deliver our infrastructure.
