The Lincolnshire Waste Partnership (LWP) aims to:
The Lincolnshire Waste Partnership (LWP) aims to:
- Provide innovative, customer-friendly waste management.
- Seek the best environmental options.
- Give value for money to Lincolnshire residents.
- National policy — In December 2018 the Government published its new national waste and resources strategy for England.
- Food waste — The national strategy proposes weekly food waste collections from 2023, in preparation they have been running a trial for food waste collections in South Kesteven to understand the challenges this may bring. They are seeking a sustainable and renewable solution which will be explored over the next few years.
- Plastics — Since the adoption of the Lincolnshire strategy, the world has seen a blaze of interest in plastic waste and how the recycling we collect is handled. Media investigations have challenged waste management practices and raised the profile of accountability and social responsibility.
- Waste crime — The Environment Agency (EA) has an open invitation to LWP meetings providing advice and guidance, the LWP also support the EA in waste crime operations in the county.
- Recycling quality — A separated paper and card collection trial in place from September 2019 with the aim of avoiding any contact with liquids and food, keeping it clean and dry, means they can meet high quality standards of the paper mills who recycle waste paper and card saving vital natural resources. The trial has been a great success and plans are underway to expand collections to more areas in Lincolnshire.
- The wider environment — Driving many miles to collect and dispose of waste increases the carbon footprint for their transport operations so they have worked to optimise routes and are investigating how, in the longer term, they can change to different vehicle fuels to reduce their CO2 emissions.

Profile
Mura Wilton is an advanced recycling facility in Teesside, Northeast England, which utilises Hydro-PRT®, a unique hydrothermal advanced recycling technology. Set to launch in 2025, this flagship facility will place 20,000 tonnes of circular hydrocarbons onto the market annually. Pioneered by parent company Mura Technology, Hydro-PRT is the next generation of advanced plastic recycling due to its use of supercritical water (water under elevated pressure and temperature, above its critical point), which distinguishes it from alternative advanced recycling processes such as pyrolysis, ensuring the efficient and scalable conversion of plastic waste to circular hydrocarbons. Hydro-PRT can process contaminated and mixed plastics, such as post-consumer flexible and rigid food packaging, producing high yields of circular hydrocarbon products for use in the manufacture of virgin-quality, recycled plastics. There is no limit to the number of times the same material can be recycled – meaning Hydro-PRT has the potential to significantly reduce the need for fossil resources in plastic production and permanently increase material circularity in the plastics industry. Independent LCAs (Lifecycle Assessments) show that Hydro-PRT is 80% less carbon intensive when compared to incinerating plastic waste, meaning that Mura Wilton is set to save c. 40,000 tonnes of carbon emissions.

North Yorkshire Council formed in April 2023, bringing together the services previously provided by eight district/borough councils and North Yorkshire County Council.
The new council provides services to approximately 615,400 people across a geographical area of over 8,000 square kilometres. Large parts of the county sit within two beautiful National Parks and three Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Ninety eight percent of the county is either sparsely (13%) or super-sparsely (85%) populated with just over a third of the population living in these areas. This results in a population density of just 77 people per square kilometre, compared with an England average of 432.
North Yorkshire has 32,715 micro, small and medium sized business enterprises and 90 large enterprises. Situated in the larger towns of Harrogate, Scarborough and Selby as well as more rural towns such as Richmond, Malton, Craven and Northallerton

Profile
Morph® is an innovative 100% recycled and recyclable modular construction system which repurposes and reduces plastic waste, encourages long-term investment and supports the circular economy movement.
The idea evolved from concerns about damaging industry behaviours, particularly the throw-away culture in the commercial office furniture and fit-out sectors. Practices widely accepted as the norm, where functional furniture and dilapidations are prematurely discarded to landfill, are having a devastating and long-term impact on the environment and Morph Bricks Ltd wanted to find a solution.
Injection moulded using 100% post consumer recycled ABS plastic, Morph bricks consist of four core components – single brick, double brick, base and top. Lightweight and strong with a uniquely designed male to female connection, the bricks interlock in a staggered brick formation to create multiple designs including walls, desks, tables, video conferencing units, counters, tiered seating and meeting bays. Reusable, every product can be taken apart and rebuilt into a new design. Recyclable, end of life bricks can be recycled into new components without waste.
Complementing the recycled plastic range, we also manufacture Morph Bio bricks made from carbon negative Bio composite material.

ReVentas
ReVentas
ReVentas’ Dissolution Recycling technology purifies polyethylene (PE) and polypropylene (PP) to produce virgin-like plastic that can be used in high-value applications and unlock the value in challenging plastic waste. ReVentas’ unique technology uses a solvent to rapidly dissolve PE and PP, filtering the plastic of all contaminants including colour, multilayers and odour, producing a colourless, ultra-pure plastic which can be sold directly to end customers. The technology operates at low temperatures and pressures, reducing the cost of production and making recycling more economically viable, whilst achieving an 80% reduction in carbon emissions over virgin plastic production. By doing this ReVentas are closing the loop in the circular economy and allowing companies to access new sustainable polyethylene and polypropylene to replace virgin resins at scale.
