Martyn Fordham recently went back to visit our customers at Revive Eco who are recycling abandoned materials using sustainable chemistry practices.
Started just after graduating, co-founders Fergus Moore and Scott Kennedy set up Revive Eco to help combat the shocking volume of waste products from the food industry.
With plans to develop new and novel ‘green’ processes that can extract value from waste, the team have successfully developed a coffee oil, surfactants and emulsifiers which are ready to go into production on an industrial scale. These are designed for use in both the food & drink industry and in the skincare industry and include a valuable substitute for palm oil.
NEW VIDEO: Revive Eco’s objective is to give new life to abandoned materials, creating a waste free world. They started with used coffee grounds and are now in the process of expanding the range of materials they are working with and scaling up their chemistry.
The origins of the sustainable chemistry for Revive Eco
We first visited the team two years ago during the early R&D stage of process development where the Asynt ReactoMate ATOM with 20L jacketed vessel was being put to work to to start this scale-up process. As with our previous visit, the team were kind enough to allow our cameras inside the lab where Martyn chatted with Senior Chemist, Dawn Thompson. Dawn’s insights and feedback on the jacketed reactor system on our last visit was so interesting – if you’d like to read this and watch the video from this visit, please click the image below or click the link here: https://www.asynt.com/press-releases/sustainable-alternative-to-palm-oil/
