Circularity of Critical Materials

Members: Andy Abbott, Sandy Kilpatrick, Karl Ryder, Jake Yang.

The achievement of Net Zero targets is intrinsically related to the development of new energy solutions and a more holistic approach towards materials design and the use of critical resources, in line with the principles of Circular Economy. Our world-leading teams based in the Centre for Sustainable Materials Processing work at the cutting-edge of modern technological developments in sustainable materials and applications in a variety of sectors (e.g. manufacturing, energy, forensics), including world-leading work on battery technology, recycling methods for critical materials, new composite materials and biopolymers, and much more.
