The brief

*** THIS IS NOT A CALL FOR COMPETITION *** This contract has been awarded against CR150025 BIS Research & Evaluation Framework, LOT 5.

The Smart Sustainable Plastic Packaging Challenge (SSPP) will be funding large Demonstrator Projects (consisting of collaborations of industrial partners proposing £30-40m capital construction projects) to meet the objectives of the Challenge to resolve the issue of plastic packaging waste (see below Section 4 background).
