The Cambridge Circular Plastics Centre (CirPlas) is the home of research into the elimination of plastic waste. Established in 2019, our work was funded by UK Research and Innovation (UKRI). We have grown into a global network of projects and people who think creatively about plastics. Our approach is to work across disciplines and in partnership with different organisations. The scope of our work ranges from manufacturing more sustainable materials to innovations in plastics recycling.
