We love working with innovators who are working in sustainable ways!

Going live on January 13th, this ISCF funding call for early-stage projects in smart and sustainable plastic packaging is something we'd absolutely love to work on!

The aim is to help make the plastic packaging supply chain more circular, deliver targets of the UK Plastics Pact, and improve on current state-of-the-art packaging while still demonstrating practical, close-to-market solutions.

We have capacity in our bid-writing team to work on this before the close date of April 1 2020.

So, if you've got a project in scope, get in touch with us straight away and let's get started!
