Recycling

The Electron Microscopy Laboratory offers a comprehensive service to support recycling services and the use of recycled materials in product manufacture.

EMLab has an active programme of work focused on recycling plastics and rubbers. It has international expertise and experience in product development using recycled materials including inorganic as well as organic based materials.

EMLab is able to provide a one-stop shop for recycling services involving specialist facilities available in imaging, chemical characterisation and evaluation. The Centre offers expertise in the design of new material systems based on waste stream materials, and the optimisation of the processing required.

We are flexible in our approach and we will strive to understand your needs and problems and exceed your expectations. We are able to provide the specific microscopy element of a project or undertake a complete programme of work.

We are able to respond quickly where required and we are able to provide live access to some of the instrumentation to facilitate a rapid transfer of information.

EMLab has extensive experience working with large and small organisations within the UK, Europe and throughout the World. We are able to work on a confidential fee-for-service basis or in a collaborative programme.
