There is increasing pressure and urgency to make products and processes more sustainable. Transitioning to sustainable materials can help your business reduce carbon tax, meet corporate emissions targets, and comply with industry regulations. Sustainability has also become an important factor in investor decision-making, while consumer behaviour is increasingly influenced by environmental credentials.

CEAMS (Centre of Expertise in Advanced Materials and Sustainability) is a partnership between Rochdale Development Agency (RDA), Henry Royce Institute, The University of Manchester, National Physical Laboratory (NPL), High Value Manufacturing Catapult (HVM Catapult), Centre for Process Innovation (CPI), National Composites Centre (NCC), Advanced Manufacturing Research Centre (AMRC), and Manufacturing Technology Centre (MTC).

CEAMS can help you overcome sustainable materials innovation challenges and address supply chain gaps to improve the sustainability and circularity of your project while maintaining profit and growth.

CEAMS provides a straightforward route to adopting new and existing sustainable materials by:

• Providing access to advanced materials expertise, cutting-edge research, and state-of-the-art R&D facilities at world-class institutions.
• Helping you to source, manufacture, and test sustainable materials to ensure they meet certification standards.
• Integrating new materials into existing manufacturing processes and products.
• Connecting you to new market opportunities and a community of businesses on the same transformation journey.

We are particularly interested in collaborating with businesses in Greater Manchester that use engineering plastics, generate landfill and recycled plastic waste, and plastic waste recyclers.

If your organisation is looking for a more sustainable way forward, CEAMS can support you in developing innovative solutions that reduce waste, enhance material efficiency, and promote circular economy principles. By working together, we can create a more sustainable manufacturing ecosystem that benefits businesses, the environment, and the wider community.
