SSPP Future Plastic Packaging Solutions Round 2 Competition Briefing Event

UKRI’s Smart Sustainable Plastic Packaging (SSPP) Challenge intends to launch a funding competition for early-stage and mid-stage projects seeking grant funding from £30,000 to £250,000 that aim to:

• Help make the plastics packaging supply chain more circular;
• Deliver the objectives and/or targets of the UK Plastics Pact to create a circular economy for plastics, capturing their value by keeping them in the economy and out of the natural environment; and
• Embed life cycle thinking and end-of-life in packaging design and decisions.

This briefing event will provide further detail on the scope of the planned competition and key application criteria.

Note that this online briefing will be presented from Glasgow during Innovate UK KTN’s event “Making Plastics Fit for a Sustainable Future – A Snapshot of Innovation, Successes, Support & Funding” – if you are already attending this event, there is no need to register separately for the online briefing.
